To: Leonardo Enthusiasts From: Art Muse Date: Closed March 14th, 2010 Subject: Celebrating The Genius Of Leonardo
Leonardo da Vinci's Workshop, a highly anticipated new exhibit featuring life-size, interactive models of Leonardo's inventions and machines and state-of-the-art touch screen technology to recreate the ultimate Renaissance man's personal notebooks, is making its U.S. premiere at Discovery TSX. The exhibition, direct from Milan, brings to life dozens of Leonardo's inventions, visions and concepts, including his gigantic flying machines, automobile, robots, weapons of war and mechanical devices, among others - all of which foreshadowed modern technology.
Highlights of the unparalleled new exhibit, which celebrates the genius of a man who was hundreds of years ahead of his time, include the Great Kite, which is considered his "definitive" flying machine, as well as the world's first working prototype of his Self-Propelling Cart, and the first physical models of his Mechanical Bat and Mechanical Lion, among others. All of the models in the exhibit were constructed from Leonardo's surviving codices, which contain thousands of pages of notes, drawings and designs, and were recreated using materials and techniques that would have existed in the 15th and 16th centuries.
