The Leonardo Museum in Vinci is preparing to launch a new section called ‘Leonardo and Anatomy.’
The permanent exhibit, set to open on October 22, will showcase Leonardo’s scientific studies on anatomy, a welcome addition to the already extensive collection. Visitors can expect to see new and inventive educational activities, thematic tours and children’s activities aimed at highlighting the Renaissance genius’ wide-ranging interest in the human body.
Leonardo’s hometown has long been a destination for Renaissance art devotees. The Leonardo Museum, one of Vinci’s primary attractions, houses full-scale reproductions of the master’s paintings, digital reconstructions of projects and machines, and numerous anecdotes and facts about his life and hometown.
The museum is also noted for its many family-geared initiatives, including an interactive children’s book called the Gioca MUSEO, which facilitates kid-friendly exploration of the permanent exhibits, and the Domenica Leonardiana on select Sundays, which organizes activities encouraging children to think like an artist, scientist or engineer.
