Recent da Vinci exhibit might be traveling to a museum near you. Looks like a German company put it together, and it was recently in Fort Worth (at museum described in recent Fort Worth Blue blog below).

Timelines related his art and science overlapping endeavors, and computer stations took his notebook drawings and animated them with physics simulations and text. Working models - using materials available to da Vinci's generation provided mock ups. Interesting to overhear as different members in the crowd were appreciating the same invention in quite different ways.

Too bad Exxon decision makers weren't there, to better appreciate this innovation:

Here we are inside a multimirrored room, designed for use thru a peephole by artist on the outside, to get multiple perspectives of a given subject.

And, of course, what would a da Vinci exhibit be without MonaClaire / Holly / Riley possibilities?

At a research meeting recently, I saw da Vinci's originials for his plans to make a comprehensive anatomy book (original notes loaned from Queen of England to Canada). Parts of it were better than the books we use today. A great book of that exhibit published by Getty Press, Mom. Really beautiful.
