Easy way to see art

   If you want to take a look at the famous painting Mona Lisa, you’d have to fly to France, stand in a long line for a ticket, and walk with big crowds in the museum. But thanks to the VR Museum of Fine Art, things will be much easier. The VR Museum of Fine Art is a free new app in Steam, an online gaming platform. With a special headset(头戴式装置)，you can skip the tickets and the crowds and enjoy art in whatever way you want.

   VR (Virtual Reality, 虚拟现实) is a technology that makes a virtual environment. Users can see and even interact(互动)with the environment by wearing a special headset. The headset will connect to your computer and you can see a lot of things without stepping out of your room.

   In the VR Museum of Fine Art, for example, you can touch the old Greek sculptures or look deep into the cracks(裂缝) on the Mona Lisa’s canvas(画布). You can also read about each piece of art.

   So far there are four “display rooms” of 15 sculptures and two paintings in the VR Museum of Fine Art. They are famous works of art from around the world, including the Chinese Qin Dynasty’s Terra Cotta(兵马俑) Army, the Great Buddha of Kamakura(镰仓大佛) from Japan and Shiva the Lord of Dance(湿婆舞王) from India. All of them are to scale(按比例绘制的).

Every year, a lot of young people in Britain finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to university. Some people go to other countries and work as volunteers.

Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to a university to study Spanish, but now she is living in Belize, a small country in Central America. Pauline says, “I’m working with other people here to protect the coral reefs(珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is polluted, the coral dies. I’m helping to study the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the problem before it’s too late.

I’m staying with a family here. They are very friendly and I help with the cooking and the cleaning. I don’t get any money, but that’s OK.
