Which famous painting do you look like the most? Google Arts & Culture App will answer this strange question for you . The app has been updated with a new function that will scan your selfies and then search for the masterpiece most similar. Who knows, maybe you have the same smile as the famous Mona Lisa!

This simple addition to the app has rocketed the Google Arts & Culture App to number one in the free app downloads of the Google Play Store, at least in the United States.

Thanks to this, Twitter has been inundated with photos of people checking out the app.

The strange thing is that the app first debuted back in 2016. The app gave virtual tours of thousands of museums and art galleries all over the world. Despite this interesting premise, the Google Arts and Culture App is almost unknown, which meant Google had to add this gimmicky update to help it gain some traction.
