Leonardo da Vinci: Machines in Motion

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 22:42:46 GMT

Leonardo da Vinci is celebrated as a painter, sculptor, musician, architect, engineer and anatomist. Most enduring to his legacy are his inventions and designs. Machines in Motion presents 40 full-scale machines that were built after in-depth study of Leonardo da Vinci’s designs by a group of scientists and skilled craftsmen in Florence, Italy. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that many of the mechanisms are life-sized and fully operational. Visitors may touch and set them in motion, combining a fascinating hands-on experience with an exploration of the principles he employed to create each machine.

The machines are grouped into four sections based upon applications linked to the elements--air, water, land and fire--which held a strong fascination for Leonardo da Vinci. Exhibits include such visionary inventions as the helicopter and glider, the armored tank, the drive transmission, the printing press and the bicycle. Most of the materials used in the construction of these machines were available in Leonardo da Vinci’s era, and are the ones proposed by him in his codices, including wood, rope and glue. The materials were crafted by hand (using tools prescribed by the master himself), and then reinforced for the traveling exhibition.

BAT EXHIBIT TURNS MYTHS UPSIDE-DOWN Masters of the Night: The True Story of Bats, a touring museum exhibit, is bringing the mystery surrounding bats out of the dark. The exhibition, with concurrent tours in the United States, Mexico and Europe, dispels popular misconceptions about bats, describes their ecological importance and gives visitors an appreciation of the true wonders of the bat world. Special effects, multi-sensory interactive displays, a Gothic castle and environmentally lifelike settings such as caves and rain forests present bats in mythic and real-life settings. Bats are a mystery to most people. Very few have ever seen a bat up close. What little most people know comes from folklore, myth or superstition. The truth about bats is they are gentle, beneficial, and amazing animals. Their value has been overshadowed by their tainted reputation - a reputation based on ignorance and fear of the unknown. With lifelike cave piece sets, models and interactives, the...

HUMAN TRIUMPHS, TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES HIGHLIGHTED It was Americas second manned space mission. It was the only NASA spacecraft lost and never recovered. It sat on the ocean floor for 38 years. Although its watery resting place was deeper than the Titanics and it is only the size of a refrigerator, Liberty Bell 7 was located and recovered in 1999. It is touring the United States in a blockbuster exhibit, The Lost Spacecraft: Liberty Bell 7 Recovered. Museum visitors across the nation are seeing the recovered spacecraft for the first time since its loss in 1961. Discovery Channel, in partnership with Evergreen Exhibitions of San Antonio, Texas, produced and is touring this exhibit, which opened at Floridas Kennedy Space Center.
