    Known worldwide as the “Renaissance man”, Leonardo da Vinci’s intrinsic genius crossed so many disciplines that he epitomized the term. While he remains best known for his art, he was also a brilliant inventor who made immense contributions to life as we know it today. His two most famous paintings (among the world’s most famous and admired), include Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.

    Hong Kong Innovation Foundation and Olympian City partnered with world-class Italian Institute – Leonardo3 Museum – to host Asia’s first large-scale “Think Like Leonardo da Vinci 500th Anniversary Exhibition”. Alongside interactive exhibits, enjoy remarkable performances by esteemed local musicians that will take you on a melodic odyssey back to the Renaissance era that gave birth to da Vinci’s brilliance.

    From now until 16 February 2020, catch never-before-seen Leonardo da Vinci exhibits. There’s an 8-metre-tall mosaic of the famed Mona Lisa, two of da Vinci’s inventor’s manuscripts (Codex Atlanticus and Codex on Flight), an amazing reconstruction of the Silver Lyre made from a horse skull (one of da Vinci’s inventions recorded only on sketch). Enjoy the ingenious Harpsichord-Viola as well as countless digitized notes and interactive gaming zones – all displayed according to Italy’s national standards so you can truly peek into da Vinci’s wondrous world.

    The Codex Atlanticus – Contents within this collection ranged from mathematics to botany, architecture to technology, music and much more notes and scribbles hinting at da Vinci’s inventive mind – all of which later became immense contributions to life as we know it today.

    The Codex Atlanticus records his ideas on the musical instruments’ design and features.
