The
Da Vinci Experience Exhibit
at the El Paso Museum of History
The exhibit will make its first stop in
Texas at the El Paso Museum of History
Make plans to visit the Da Vinci Experience,
a special exhibit that brings together working
replicas of Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions
and his most famous art work. Leonardo’s
machines, notes and paintings are on display
including an air screw (precursor to the helicopter),
a war wagon, a robot and a chamber of
mirrors.
Sought after and appreciated as an artist at court,
Da Vinci was also
concerned with scientific subjects, applying his knowledge of mechanics
to military and civil engineering works and dedicating himself to the
study of anatomy, biology, mathematics and physics. A group of Florentine
artisans have spent the last half century studying the original notes
and drawings of Da Vinci's various projects, and have created this
international exhibition of fully-functional and interactive models
of Da Vinci's creations.
