The exhibition will feature over 60 famous Leonardo Da Vinci creations, including machines and artwork. The interactive experience immerses guests into the 15th century and brings to life the most important and impressive designs of the original Renaissance Man, including his amazing flying machines; nautical, hydraulic and architectural innovations; groundbreaking applications of civil engineering; and incredible war machines. The exhibition also features children’s activities, computer animations, a cinema and reproductions of da Vinci’s greatest paintings. Created by Artisans of Florence, this exhibition celebrates an iconic artist and innovator, and is on loan from the Leonardo da Vinci Museum in Florence, Italy.
The Museum is celebrating 80 years on the First Coast, and this new exhibition kicks off its anniversary season. MOSH will host several events, including Museum by Moonlight on September 17 to kick off the da Vinci exhibition, a celebratory GALAxy event on April 30, 2022 and many other commemorations throughout the year. Tickets for Museum by Moonlight are available at themosh.org/museumbymoonlightjax/.
“Curiosity and innovation are integral to the MOSH experience,” said Bruce Fafard, President & CEO of MOSH. “We are looking forward to celebrating and sharing the genius of da Vinci here at the Museum. This exhibition will bring our patrons back to a time when curiosity fueled a culture. Aligning perfectly with our mission to inspire the joy of lifelong learning, the exhibition will help us celebrate 80 years of innovation right here in the River City.”
