Reproductions of priceless masterpieces by some of the world's greatest artists are being hung in the streets of London for all to see.

For 12 weeks approximately 30 full-size copies of paintings from the National Gallery will be hung around Soho and London's West End, including masterpieces by Botticelli, Da Vinci, Gainsborough, Rubens, Titian and others.

Here's 'Samson and Delilah', by Peter Paul Ruebens, on Ganton Street in Soho, with its own National Gallery guard watching.
