The best exhibit in the world: the only one with new discoveries!
“Distinctive works of genius are all over this startling
exhibition…This exhibit should be seen.”
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Presenting Leonardo Da Vinci’s Workshop, an
incredible exhibit featuring world premieres and discoveries resulting
from unprecedented studies on the work of Leonardo da Vinci. And there more
- scale models of Leonardo's inventions and machines with state-of-the-art
touch screens enabling visitors to "turn the pages" of Leonardo's
personal notebooks (Codex Atlanticus, Codex on Flight and Manuscript
B), as well as showing the master’s artworks pre and post restoration (Mona
Lisa and The Last Supper).
Since this is the only touring exhibit produced by a Leonardo’s
research center, in every new venue it’s unveiled to the world
a physical reconstruction of a Da Vinci’s machine never seen before!
The exhibition brings to life dozens of Leonardo's inventions, visions and
concepts, including his gigantic flying machines, "automobile", robots, musical
instruments, weapons of war and mechanical
devices, which foreshadowed modern technology.
Highlights of the new exhibit include the Great Kite, which
is considered his "definitive" flying machine, as
well as the world's first working prototype of his Self-Propelled Cart,
and the first physical models of his Mechanical Bat and Mechanical
Lion, or the only playing model of the Harpsichord-Viola among
others. All of the models in the exhibit are premieres not present
in other exhibitions or the correct interpretations of what as been made wrong
by others.
All the exhibit is fully interactive thanks to avant-garde,
touch screen technologies based on threee-dimensional, high-definition
graphics and animations.
This unparalleled exhibit is curated by the noted Leonardo experts at the research
and study center Leonardo3 (L3) in Milan (Italy) and distributed
in North America by Running Subway Productions.
