The experience will not just be a mere glimpse into paintings though. It is a voyage into da Vinci’s mind. A series of 50 of the artist’s “Machine Inventions” have been meticulously crafted into to-scale replicas of da Vinci’s fantastical engineering, hand-made by artisans from the esteemed Museo Leonardo da Vinci in Rome.
