Da Vinci museum

I walked by an interactive Da Vinci museum and decided to go in - seemed like a nice change of pace from the museums I’ve been going to so far. It was really cool, it was basically all recreations of inventions found in Da Vinci’s notebooks. It was crazy how much stuff he thought up long before they were actually invented, like the bicycle and parachute, and also how many things he came up with that we still use in virtually the same way from a mechanical perspective. Everything was interactive and you could play with all of the inventions. Since it was so interactive this one obviously translated less well to photos, but it was a nice experience and it was nice to be in an interactive museum. A fun fact I learned is Da Vinci often wrote in mirrored lettering for an unknown reason, but often thought to be to keep his notes private (clearly that didn’t work). Apparently he could do this easily and was also ambidextrous.Read more
