Leonardo Da Vinci – Inventor, Artist, Dreamer Exhibit & Cities of the Future IMAX Film at the California Science Center
Activity Level
Activity Level 2
Embark on an extraordinary journey of discovery and a deep dive into mankind’s visionary spirit and endless curiosity at the California Science Center. This immersive, dual experience begins with the new IMAX film, Cities of the Future 3D, a captivating adventure into the past, present, and future of human ingenuity. We’ll take a step into the future and discover the exciting innovations that engineers are working on right now that will help us meet the challenges of a changing world and transform the way we live forever. From solar energy beamed down from space and smart buildings to aerial highways and electric flying vehicles, we’ll discover the human ingenuity and innovative thinking that are forging a brighter, more sustainable future for us all and visit some of the world’s great cities where profound change is already happening. This isn’t science fiction – this is what the world engineers are designing right now! This afternoon, we’ll step into the world of Leonardo da Vinci and marvel at 30 of his ingenious inventions – including over a dozen full-scale models like the Flying Bicycle, Great Organ, Great Kite, Helical Air Screw and the Flying Eagle featuring a 33-foot majestic wingspan – each meticulously built by contemporary Italian artisans according to da Vinci’s drawings. These mechanical wonders that were once only sketches on paper now stand before you, alongside digitally restored reproductions of his iconic artwork like the Last Supper and Lady with an Ermine. Engage in hands-on science activities, test your engineering skills with da Vinci's self-supporting bridge, and uncover lost details of his masterpieces through interactive exhibits. Discover details in the masterpieces that were lost forever as the displays reveal how each painting would have appeared when da Vinci created them. Enjoy time at leisure to browse the Science Center’s permanent exhibits (Space Shuttle Endeavour is off display for several years) with lunch on your own at the Science Center eateries (or bring a sack lunch to enjoy on-site).
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
