The headline-hitting Isleworth Mona Lisa—a disputed version of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous smiling lady—is continuing its tour of Asia with a stop in Shanghai. The interactive exhibition (until 28 August) fills the seventh floor of the House in Xintiandi, a boutique hotel in a luxury retail development. The show has been co-organised by the Mona Lisa Foundation, a Swiss non-profit that insists that the Isleworth piece is by Leonardo (the exhibition argues that the polymath made the painting a decade before the Louvre’s Mona Lisa, which dates from around 1506). The guest of honour at the opening was the Canadian-born, Chinese reality TV star Kristy Yang Gongru—chosen because of her apparent resemblance to “Mona” Lisa del Giocondo.
