Renaissance men didn't get more Renaissance than painter, sculptor, inventor, architect, scientist, writer and mapmaker Leonardo da Vinci. This exhibition breathes life into his story, thanks to digitized paintings and hundreds of working models of his machines. Located in the center of the city (conveniently between La Scala and il Duomo), the Leonardo3 is a fascinating place to spend some time with your family. Or, if you're on your own, an amazing place to get lost in your thoughts (and curse them for not being as imaginative, precise, or ahead of their time as da Vinci's were). The interactive exhibition, with hundreds of models of machines of his own creation - including a submarine, rapid-fire crossbow and a mechanical dragonfly, is a great way to get to know the restless genius of the man who inspired The da Vinci Code (for which you may be grateful or annoyed).

MIA Uses Text of the World’s Greatest Renaissance Thinker To Examine Creative Process of Contemporary Artists and Designers March 26, 2015—“Leonardo da Vinci, the Codex Leicester, and the Creative Mind,” offers rare insights into one of history’s most celebrated thinkers in the context of some of today’s most interesting creative minds. Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Leicester—a notebook examining the properties of water to investigate larger questions that range from the internal workings of the planet to the composition of the moon—is paired with contemporary works by artists and designers like Bill Viola, Margaret and Christine Wertheim of the Institute For Figuring,Scott Olson, and others to explore how the creative process unfolds. The exhibition, which is on view June 21–August 30 in the Minneapolis Institute of Art’ Target Galleries, explores the relationship between creativity, curiosity, innovation, and thinking on paper. “The MIA’s Art Remix program, which pairs historic and contemporary works of art, was the perfect preparation for this exhibition and allows us to present the Codex Leicester in fresh and relevant ways,” says Alex Bortolot, MIA Content Strategist and curator of the exhibition. He adds, “It is Leonardo’s approach to examining the world, as much as what he revealed about it, that is his greatest legacy.

He combined acute powers of observation, omnivorous curiosity, and intellectual rigor to explore the world around him and push beyond existing boundaries into new realms of understanding. By juxtaposing works from today with the Codex, we’re making connections between Leonardo and the creative potential of today’s artists, engineers, and designers.” It is estimated that only 31 of Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks, just a third of the total he created, survive. Essential tools to his creative process, Leonardo used his notebooks to frame questions, record observations, develop theories and experiments to test them, and further refine his ideas based on the results. Through drawings, texts, and observations recorded in the Codex Leicester, Leonardo explored and sought to explain the properties of water and, by extension, gain a greater understanding of the earth and celestial bodies. Leonardo compiled the Codex Leicester in Milan—an intellectual center of Renaissance Italy— between 1508 and 1510. He wrote on 18 double-sided sheets of loose-leaf, linen paper, each one folded to make a total of 72 pages.
