Leonardo da Vinci: Machines in Motion

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 18:58:09 GMT

Leonardo da Vinci is celebrated as a painter, sculptor, musician, architect, engineer and anatomist. Most enduring to his legacy are his inventions and designs. Machines in Motion presents 40 full-scale machines that were built after in-depth study of Leonardo da Vinci’s designs by a group of scientists and skilled craftsmen in Florence, Italy. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that many of the mechanisms are life-sized and fully operational. Visitors may touch and set them in motion, combining a fascinating hands-on experience with an exploration of the principles he employed to create each machine. The machines are grouped into four sections based upon applications linked to the elements--air, water, land and fire--which held a strong fascination for Leonardo da Vinci. Exhibits include such visionary inventions as the helicopter and glider, the armored tank, the drive transmission, the printing press and the bicycle. Most of the materials used in the construction of these machines...

BAT EXHIBIT TURNS MYTHS UPSIDE-DOWN Masters of the Night: The True Story of Bats, a touring museum exhibit, is bringing the mystery surrounding bats out of the dark.

With lifelike cave piece sets, models and interactives, the...
