Groups can view Da Vinci’s genius in Sacramento
Artist, architect, designer, engineer, philosopher, scientist – and inventor: Leonardo da Vinci is the archetypal Renaissance man. For the first time in Northern California, more than 60 of his remarkable inventions are on display at the Aerospace Museum of California in Sacramento. The Da Vinci Experience exhibit will run through August 19.
Da Vinci’s genius stems from the way he kept seeing ways to improve on the performance of objects in common use during his lifetime in the 15th and 16th centuries, as well as foreseeing the potential for inventions that seemed a fantasy at the time.
Many of the exhibit’s designs are interactive so that both children and adults can understand precisely how many of the groundbreaking machines accomplish their work.
Visitors to the exhibit will get a chance to see prototypes for the first bicycle, the first car, the first double-hulled boat, the first hang glider, the first helicopter, the first jack, the first life preserver and the first parachute, among an array of many others. In addition, there is a theater showing a short film about Leonardo da Vinci, a gallery housing replicas of many of his paintings, interactive computer kiosks and a gift shop.
Group rates (20 or more) are available through the Sacramento CVB. For more information on attractions and events in Sacramento, visit www.discovergold.org
