The first ever tank design?
Review:
Visited the Leornado Da Vinci exhibition today at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI), lot to see and learn about this visionary and amazingly multi-talented individual (painter, musician,scientist, engineer and more!) recommended for kids and adults. The majority of the pieces are real life recreations of items Da Vinci designed on paper but which were never actually made. For example 400 hundred years ago he designed a parachute based on cotton and timber and when tested at 10,000 feet recently it actually worked! He also designed the first tank, the forebearer of todays motor car and so on. Wasn’t perfect mind but light years ahead of his peers.
You are able to be hands on with many items which is fun for all ages, see various movies and also see details of the 20 years it took to restore the Mona Lisa including a 240 million pixel high definition photograph of the Mona Lisa (huge ceiling to floor version).

I didn’t think you were allowed to take photo’s?
The staff didn’t mind- was only a normal mobile as opposed to a large professional camera and tripod so they were okay with it.
Friends and collegues have also visited after seeing the pics so helped more people see this worthwhile exhibition.
