The historic Palazzo Ducale in the Italian city of Urbino is getting a futuristic makeover with "electronic frescoes" being added to its famed art collection.
Electronic designer Paolo Buroni designed a series of moving projections for a new exhibit at the 15th-century palace known for its Renaissance art and architecture, the Italian news agency ANSA reported Saturday.
While the new exhibit has a technologically advanced basis, its goal will be to make visitors to the Palazzo Ducale feel as though they stepped back in time.
Using projectors and blank walls, the exhibit will project historical works of art onto the exact locations they held six centuries ago.
The new exhibit opened Saturday in Urbino but a similar project 10 years in the making is set to open next spring in the Hall of Frescoes.
That exhibit will also feature a recreation of the historic locale's former glory and most famed works through technological advancements, ANSA reported.
