Our Traveling Exhibition Project
One of the world’s greatest artists and engineers, Leonardo da Vinci was born with an insatiable desire for knowledge. At a young age he declared “Experience will be my mistress”, and throughout his life he pushed the boundaries of knowledge and experience, a true modern scientist. In his lifetime he became a master of numerous fields such as nature, science, art and technology.
The concept to present an exhibition that connected Leonardo da Vinci’s passionate study of anatomy, beautiful art and vision of a mechanical man (the world’s first robot), was conceived by the Artisans of Florence, Niccolai Teknoart SNC (TEKNOART).
Studying and deciphering da Vinci’s codices (manuscripts) in 2006 Teknoart commenced production on the life size anatomical models and interactive machines and robotic exhibits that comprise this Exhibition.
By the time the exhibition was ready for its world launch, it was apparent to the producers (TEKNOART) that many of da Vinci’s coded and encrypted secrets that had lay hidden for over 500 years, had now been discovered and would be revealed to the world for the very first time.
On loan from the Leonardo Da Vinci Museum in Florence, the Exhibition launched its world tour in Melbourne, Australia in October 2009.
Since then it has enjoyed and educated millions of visitors from more than 100 countries!

The Exhibition features more than 60 hand crafted exhibits including a gallery of Leonardo's most famous reproduction masterpieces, interactive automatons and robots which mimic humans and animals.As well as the most recognisable and iconic interactive da Vinci inventions such as the bicycle, helicopter, scuba suit, military tank (subject of availability).
Each exhibit in the Exhibition is accompanied by a facsimile codex page of da Vinci's original sketch, the same drawings which were meticulously studied and followed by the Artisans to create the functional exhibits.
