Mona Lisa is much more famous than her master. She has been considered as a public property for decades now. We own her, not even the genius behind that piercing smile that keeps on lingering in our minds owns her. It IS a public domain and outside of the copyright protection which made it one of the most replicated image worldwide. And who is the genius behind it? Let's get to know him more in his works.
The Mind Museum, , one of my favorite museums, opened its doors to the Da Vinci – The Genius
last September 1, 2013. It has been in the most famed museums in 51 cities
around the world. The exhibition reveals that Leonardo Da Vinci is not solely a
painter but a genius behind some of the most brilliant ingenuities. The
exhibition offers the most comprehensive analysis and interaction with Leonardo
Da Vinci’s works.
The 200 exhibit pieces are divided into several themed areas; Military Engineering, Music and
Optical, Renaissance Art, Hydraulic and Aquatic, Physics, Flight, Civil,
Anatomy and Codices. The guests can explore on the interactive inventions
studied from the codices and built in Italy as original pieces provided with
well written, authentic and interpretive information to guide the guests on the
pieces.
The
exhibition makes use of Sensory Learning to provide a better
understanding and appreciation of Da Vinci’s works. An example of which are; 3D
interactive presentations of his famous works (The Last Supper, Vitruvian Man
and the great Sforza Horse sculpture) with never before seen perspectives, a
special BBC documentary on the life of Leonardo Da Vinci entitled, The Man Who Wanted to Know Everything,
and the hands-on features of some of the pieces.
Here's a sneak peak on what's inside the Da Vinci exhibition.
