The Leonardo da Vinci Machines exhibit has inventions such as a helicopter, catapult and a bicycle which will be featured. The exhibit consists of over 60 machines recreated by Italian artisans using da Vinci’s drawings and designs as well as employing the same materials available in Leonardo’s time. The machines are divided into four galleries: Transportation, Military, Mechanical and Entertainment devices. Each device has a detailed description that explains it’s function and unique characteristics. Some of the machines are interactive, allowing students to operate the machine to see how they were intended to work.

Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most intriguing men in history – an ordinary person who did extraordinary things. He was an accomplished  artist, designer, engineer, philosopher and scientist. In short, Leonardo da Vinci was the very embodiment of what we now think of as a Renaissance man.
