The Leonardo da Vinci Machines Exhibition

Explore the mind of the greatest genius of all time

The exhibition, supported by L!vesites, the Newcastle Museum and Newcastle City Council, brings together creations and concepts devised more than 500 years ago by the brilliant scientist, inventor and artist Leonardo Da Vinci.

With over 60 machines on display, many of which are interactive, the collection features replicas of the major and most striking inventions of the original Renaissance Man.

This public display is informative and thought-provoking with the emphasis on enjoyment and interaction and offers a stimulating, entertaining and educational experience for pre-schoolers through to seniors. 

The main features on display include the “bicycle”, “spring powered car”, “hang glider” and the “air screw”, a precursor to the helicopter.
