​About the exhibit

​Created in collaboration with Museo Leonardo da Vinci in Rome, this is not a traditional exhibition; it’s an immersive journey of discovery and wonder.

​Interact with Leonardo’s incredible machine inventions, connecting ideas and concepts from 500 years ago to today’s technological advances, revealing his impact on today’s world and his influence on the future.

​Learn Leonardo’s story in a mesmerizing immersive gallery space woven through the streets of Florence, the canals of Venice and the grandeur of Milan, engaging the senses.

​Leonardo, an inspirational icon, transcended the boundaries of his era with insatiable curiosity, contributing to science, technology, engineering, art, and maths. The exhibition features interactive displays, life-sized replicas, and installations showcasing the breadth and depth of his work.

​Join us on this immersive journey and discover the universal appeal of Leonardo’s curiosity, creativity, and innovation. Leonardo da Vinci – 500 Years of Genius brings history to life in a way that captivates and inspires audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
