Leonardo da Vinci’s Workshop @ The Franklin Institute

Experience of all of the majesty and genius of the “greatest mind of the Renaissance.” The exhibition comes straight from a group of engineers and da Vinci scholars from Milan who bring to life many of da Vinci’s sketches with life-sized 3D models. Interact with state-of-the-art touchscreens that recreate the genius’ notebooks, or take a gander at his definitive flying machine “The Great Kite” or a working model of his “Aerial Screw,” a predecessor to the modern helicopter. The event will end May 22, 2011.
