An immersive exhibition showcasing Renaissance art officially opened on Thursday in Hong Kong as a highlight of the French May Arts Festival.

Titled Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Meet Mona Lisa & Portraying the Renaissance, the event offers a unique dual experience, combining interactive multimedia storytelling with physical Renaissance treasures—including four rare original manuscripts by Leonardo da Vinci.

The exhibition runs through July 27 at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum in Sha Tin and offers free admission to the public.

The French May Arts Festival is one of Asia's leading cultural events, held annually in Hong Kong, showcasing a diverse program of performing and visual arts that celebrate French culture.
