Olympian City 'Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci 500th Anniversary Exhibition

It was 500 years ago when Leonardo da Vinci, seen today as the greatest polymath in human history, left behind his legacy. In commemoration of the Renaissance master, Hong Kong Innovation Foundation and Olympian City partnered with world-class Italian Institute – Leonardo3 Museum – to host Asia’s first large-scale “Think Like Leonardo da Vinci 500th Anniversary Exhibition”. It is undoubtedly a not-to-be-missed event this year! 

Catch these never-before-seen exhibits from now until 16 February 2020. These include an 8-metre-tall mosaic of Mona Lisa, the inventor’s manuscripts namely Codex Atlanticus and Codex on Flight, and countless digitized notes and interactive gaming zones – all displayed according to Italy’s national standards so you can truly traverse into da Vinci’s wondrous world.

Starting from 3 January 2020, the “Think Like Leonardo da Vinci 500th Anniversary Exhibition” enters phase two with even more cherished displays. These include a reconstruction of the Silver Lyre made from a horse skull, one of da Vinci’s inventions recorded only on sketch, and the ingenious Harpsichord-Viola. Don’t miss out on these two exhibits’ debut in Asia. But wait, the music doesn’t stop here: Olympian City has prepared remarkable performances by esteemed local musicians that will take you on a melodic odyssey back to the Renaissance, the era that gave birth to da Vinci’s stupendous brilliance. 

This cross-disciplinary maven obsessed over every detail whether in his arts and inventions, or in his study of nature and flight. To him, no element should be overlooked; and this is precisely what made him a revered master even five centuries after his passing. 

Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions and his principles have been keen subjects of study for the internationally acclaimed Leonardo3, which has brought this travelling exhibition to the United States, Turkey, Germany, Poland, Canada and other countries. After years of in-depth studying, analysing and interpreting da Vinci’s original manuscripts, Leonardo3 now reveals this legend’s illustrious world to the public through technology, science and VR. “Think Like Leonardo da Vinci 500th Anniversary Exhibition” encourages visitors to “think” and “be like” da Vinci and not only observe the world through his eyes, but also understand his values and, like him, maintain an insatiable sense of curiosity in this fast-food culture.
