Da Vinci Machines: Inventions brought to life

9 Aug 2025 - 2 Nov 2025

Da Vinci Machines is a unique opportunity to explore the mind of the creative genius, Leonardo da Vinci. The exhibition is on display at selected venues from 9 August-2 November.

Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions and discoveries are even more relevant today than they were in Renaissance Europe 500 years ago.

By connecting his studies in anatomy, nature, engineering, geology and the arts, Leonardo came to a deep and unique understanding of the universe and our place in it.

On loan from the Museum of Leonardo da Vinci in Florence, Italy, this exhibition showcases 60 of Da Vinci's most iconic inventions, meticulously constructed from his original sketches. The exhibition will spark curiosity and imagination in learners of all ages, providing a rare, hands-on experience of Da Vinci's brilliance.

Da Vinci Machines will be on show across Bribie Island Seaside Museum, Pine Rivers Heritage Museum, and Redcliffe Museum. Drop into North Lakes Library to view a replica flying machine by Leonardo da Vinci while the exhibition is on!

Free. No bookings required.
