“I’d sure like to know what made Leonardo da Vinci tick. It seems like there wasn’t anything this guy didn’t do.... The Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Anatomical drawings, architecture,engineering and inventions. Lots of them. You can see 150 reproductions of his inventions ....”
NBC CH11

“We were charmed by the interactive models of machines, warcraft and ingenious though ill fated attempts at flying vehicles”
Bay Area Reporter – San Francisco

"...mechanical devices ranging from gear systems to would – be flying machines, all built by Italian Artisans from Leonardo’s sketches are the stars of the show... Hands on versions of the machines are close to the ground for accessibility to bussing geniuses. The anatomical drawings are amazing.”

“The show can get the viewer's mind running.... It may be impossible to get anywhere near the ravenous,
encyclopedic mind of Leonardo and not marvel at the variety, complexity and unceasing
inventiveness of his imagination”.
Steve Winn, San Francisco Chronicle

“Where the exhibition succeeds is in bringing science projects to life, with enough hands on cranks, levers and pulleys to keep adventurous children entertained.”
Robert Taylor, Contra Costa Times

“A new exhibition in San Francisco sheds light on the genius who, along with his artistic pursuits, was a scientist, architect, military strategist and anatomist”.
Becca MacLaren, Marin Independent Journal

“I’m always bugged by self proclaimed Renaissance men, by every cheesy stage performer who also declares himself a painter. But take a peek into the mind of the real life role model is a positive jolt to anyone properly awestruck by genius”.
Leah Garchik, San Francisco Chronicle

“...they (the organizers) did a fabulous job. Educators of children in middle school should make a field trip to this exhibition part of their courses in history, art and science. It is inspiring to see the product of a great human mind on display”.
Jim and Inga Keldsen, Walnut Creek

“I feel certain the shows admission price will yield much richer dividends than comparable ticket price for the latest blockbuster (popcorn included) which i shelled out for later on that same afternoon. We marvelled at the range of Leonardo’s vision and how many of his implausible dreams have been realized in the ensuing centuries... it offers an experience that is tactically, intellectually and visually satisfying”
