If you think you know all there is to know about Leonardo Da Vinci, think again. Da Vinci: Machines & Robotics presents the Renaissance inventor’s art with fresh insights and learnings about his work and life. 20+ interactive activities, Da Vinci’s very own sketches and an art gallery brought over from the Museum of Leonardo Da Vinci in Italy… There are so many reasons to check out the incredible exhibit. Here’s our selection!
1. Learn more about Da Vinci’s life
At Da Vinci: Machines & Robotics, you’ll get a glimpse into the mind of the creator who held the secrets to modern-day art, mechanics and technology. Da Vinci’s revolutionary ideas are phenomenal on their own, but even more so as you get to know the genius. You’ll uncover why he famously never finished his pieces, gathered information on human anatomy, and how his personal life played a significant role in his work. So much more gets unveiled during the exhibit, so you’re gonna want to check it out yourself.
2. See 60+ of his creations up-close
The Da Vinci exhibit is the perfect opportunity to uncover the creator’s work up-close and in person. We all know about Da Vinci’s famous sketches and inventions, but few of us have seen them in the flesh. The inventor never published the contents of his drawings. It wasn’t until he passed away that his work came out to the public, completely transforming our day-to-day activities. Helicopters, parachutes, robots… they all started with Da Vinci — and you’ll get to see reproductions of these sketches at the exhibition in Miami.
3. A trip to Italy without the price of a plane ticket
Miami’s Da Vinci exhibit is extra special because it features pieces from the Museum of Leonardo da Vinci in Florence, Italy. That means you can see Da Vinci’s creations for a fraction of the price — right here, in Miami. You can almost picture yourself walking through the ‘cradle of the Renaissance’ — with its terra cotta roofs and vibrant flowers — as you take in the Renaissance genius’ work.
4. An educational experience for the entire family
Da Vinci: Machines & Robotics is entertaining for the whole fam: featuring over 20 interactive elements, kiddos will surely be sucked into the life and work of the Renaissance artist! An art gallery with his meticulous works, an extensive array of his most notable sketches, and so much more, will keep all ages fascinated. Children’s tickets include those 7 – 13 and those under 7 get free admission!
5. It’s the perfect afternoon in Downtown Miami
Aside from diving into Da Vinci’s incredible art and inventions, the exhibit has another plus: it’s located in Downtown Miami. That means you can stop for delicious food, get your shopping on, and even catch a show before or after the exhibit. Visit the HistoryMiami Museum, catch Miami’s first brewery & taproom, walk by Bayfront Park and so much more! Either way, sounds like a great day ahead.
