Leonardo da Vinci: Machines in Motion

Exclusive Wisconsin showing! This unprecedented interactive exhibition at the History Museum at the Castle in downtown Appleton will take a unique backwards look at a forward-thinking genius. “Leonardo da Vinci: Machines in Motion” will display 40 operational, actual-size working machine replicas of da Vinci’s amazing machines, all built by modern day scientists and artisans according to da Vinci’s famous codices. It is organized into four parts, based on da Vinci’s study of the elements of nature and applied knowledge, and includes a revolving crane, a full-size armored tank large enough for several visitors to explore from the inside, a working robot, and four flying machines. The exhibition is of particular interest because it provides an engaging combination of education and entertainment in an experience that explores history, science, mechanics and physics, invention and innovation.(No discounts or special offers will be accepted for this exhibit.)
