Mary's Art Museum: Light&Angle

From viewing masterpieces to experimenting with light.

Mary's Art Museum hangs famous paintings at their real physical size in a 3D viewing room, and puts the light — and your point of view — in your hands. Get closer than any museum allows, see a painting at hours no gallery is open, and watch how the surface truly responds to light.

■ Four masterpieces, at life size

• The Annunciation, Leonardo da Vinci (217×98 cm) — view it from the right and watch the perspective "stand up," the same anamorphosis you'd see at the Uffizi
• Girl with a Pearl Earring, Johannes Vermeer (39×44.5 cm)
• The Starry Night, Vincent van Gogh (92.1×73.7 cm) — raking light makes the thick impasto leap out
• Saint Joseph the Carpenter, Georges de La Tour (102×137 cm) — painted by a single candle; see it in the light it was made for

■ The sun dial Trace the arc at the bottom of the screen to move the sun from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. At dusk, amber light and long window shadows sweep across the wall.

■ Six lighting presets North-window studio / Morning sun / Sunset / Candlelit night / Museum standard / Moonlight. The candle flames flicker independently, and the painting's surface breathes with them.

■ Grab the light Drag the candelabra across the floor, or slide the spotlights along their ceiling rail — directly, with your finger.

■ Keep, capture, compare Save any moment of light together with your viewpoint and return to it anytime. Export high-resolution, UI-free captures to your photo library (shooting conditions embedded in EXIF). Lock the composition, change only the light, and build perfectly aligned comparison sets — then wipe between any two captures with a split slider.

■ Collect from world museums Search The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Rijksmuseum, SMK – National Gallery of Denmark and The Cleveland Museum of Art for public-domain works and hang them in your room — at their true physical size. Collect as many as you like, free.
