What are Talking Paintings?
Talking Paintings is an AI-powered storytelling solution for museums, exhibitions, and cultural venues that transforms traditional artworks into interactive digital experiences. By combining artificial intelligence, computer vision, and real-time animation, we enable historical figures in paintings, photographs or other visual media to speak directly with your visitors — naturally, intelligently, and in character.
This cutting-edge system allows museums to install life-sized digital portraits that respond to visitors‘ questions in real time. Whether it’s Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa or a local historical figure, each “talking painting” uses natural language processing and generative AI to hold authentic, unscripted conversations. The personalities are trained to reflect their historical background, tone, and voice — creating immersive, educational experiences that are both emotionally engaging and highly memorable
