The development and interrelationship of artistic symbols and themes from ancient cultures is displayed by use of intricate animation, and enhanced by music. Wang says the experience is unlike a typical museum visit.

The project features images of ancient statues, dating back to the 9th century. Lebrun says, “It’s like a magical museum where the objects come to life in the dark.”
