Thanks to new digital technology, Leonardo’s most important manuscripts are reunited for the first time since 1796 when Napoleon removed them from Italy: Manuscript B (also digitally restored), the Codex Atlanticus (from the Hoepli edition of 1894-1904) and the Codex on Flight.
Reconstructions of machines that are newly interpreted or presented for the first time: Mechanical Lion, Harpsichord-Viola, Robot Knight, Self-Propelled Cart, Great Kite, Aerial Screw, Mechanical Bat, Wire-Controlled Bird, and others. Drawings Leonardo was not just a scientific artist, but an artistic scientist. Discover the master through more than 20 of his drawings: Self-Portrait, Perspective Study for the Adoration of the Magi, Madonna and Child and the Head of a Woman, among others.
