We visited the Mostra di Leonardo Da Vinci museum in Rome where working models of his drawings were displayed. It takes a lot of thought to figure out how he knew so much that far ahead of others.
The official photo gallery is here:

Think long and hard how he managed to do all this.My photos are below;
In the US today Da Vinci is best known for the Mona Lisa. But I think his other works, as a scientist, were far more important. Was that your impression?
ReplyDeleteThere was no sign there that he did the Mona Lisa, and I totally forgot about it. I'm much more impressed by his scientific stuff.
DeleteI saw the Mona lisa at the Louvre in Paris and it's a good painting but not a life changing one. The most interesting part of the exhibit was the frenetic reaction of the throngs of tourists jostling each other for a look and snapping pictures. You'd think that viewing the Mona Lisa was the key to eternal bliss. It was both bizarre and amusing.
