Some of the incredible inventions of Leonardo da Vinci are
brought to life in an interactive installation coming to Adelaide next
month.
The Da Vinci Machines Exhibition boasts more than 60 models interpreted from his
original designs and drawings by the Artisans of Florence.
Display pieces include the bicycle, tank and air screw, alongside a number of
simpler items that are commonly used today, including cam hammers and ball bearings.
Visitors can get a better understanding of many of these constructions by taking
part in group challenges such as building an arched bridge.
Beautiful reproductions of his artistic works - including the Mona Lisa and the Last
Supper - also feature.
The exhibition is on loan from Il Museo di Leonardo da Vinci in Florence, Italy. It
opens at the Adelaide Showground on April 16th 2011 and will remain there until June
26th.
Tourists can check out the display from 09:00 to 17:00 local time every day,
although it remains open until 20:00 on Friday.
Admission costs AU$20 for adults, AU$15 for concessions and AU$10 for children aged
between four and 13.
