Leonardo da Vinci

150 sketches and models of Da Vinci’s scientific inventions are going to be exhibited, separated into eight themed units: anatomy, mathematics – geometry, mechanics, flying machines, clockworks, hydrodynamics – bridges – channels, architecture – fortification, armoury. The artefacts belong to one of the three collections approved by the Da Vinci Academy. Many models have been constructed from the beginning of the 20th century, based on Da Vinci’s original sketches. The visitors will have the opportunity to touch the exhibits, to set them in motion, to learn and comprehend the “anatomy of machinery”. The exhibition is being completed with 12 touch-screens and 6 interactive programs of 8,000 pictures that offer its user significant information about Da Vinci himself, his work and the epoch he lived. “Leonardo Da Vinci… Inventor and Scientist” will be hosted in Greece for the very first time. It has been hosted, though, in many European galleries and has attracted more then one million visitors. The exhibition will run under the direction of Dr. Otto Letze, the Director of the Institute of Cultural Exchanges in Germany, who has been in charge of more than 200 exhibitions in Museums all over the world.
