Encouraging Curious and Creative Thought

From being able to see Leonardo’s flight machines brought to life to contemplating infinity in his room of mirrors, the experience encourages curious and creative thought.

Da Vinci – Inventions

Created under the auspices of the Museo Leonardo da Vinci – Rome, Italy, and with the assistance of a number of experts in Italy, the Da Vinci – Inventions experience brings to life the genius of Leonardo as an inventor, artist, scientist, anatomist, engineer, architect, sculptor and philosopher.

 

The main differences between Da Vinci – The Genius and Da Vinci – Inventions is scale: the Da Vinci – Inventions experience offers a smaller footprint and focuses on Leonardo’s inventions and engineering principles.

 

Working from Leonardo’s codices, Italian Artisans have faithfully crafted life-size machine inventions. These works include the first concepts of a car, bicycle, helicopter, glider, parachute, SCUBA, submarine, a forerunner to the modern military tank and an ideal city, to name a few.

The exhibition succeeds in bringing science projects to life, with enough hands on cranks, levers and pulleys to keep adventurous children entertained!

Visitor Review

The experience also moves far beyond machine inventions alone, featuring facsimiles of Leonardo’s most famous codices, anatomical studies, Anghiari battle drawings and displays of his renaissance art in actual size.

 

A high-definition recreation of The Last Supper at actual size (29 x 14.5ft) is an impressive display that complements the entertaining and educational animation presentations of the Vitruvian Man and one of Leonardo’s most ambitious projects – the Sforza horse sculpture.

 

Suitable for all ages, this amazing exhibition provides a fascinating insight into not only the mind of a genius but also into the fundamental scientific and artistic principles that he discovered. Da Vinci – Inventions is an inspiration for the whole family.’
