Da Vinci Machines: Inventions brought to life

Capsule-shaped wooden model of Da Vinci invention

Da Vinci Machines is a unique opportunity to explore the mind of the creative genius, Leonardo da Vinci.

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 the Bribie Island Seaside Museum, Pine Rivers Heritage Museum, Redcliffe Museum and North Lakes Library

Free. No bookings required.
