Da Vinci Machines: Inventions brought to life

City of Moreton Bay Museums offer a unique glimpse into Leonardo Da Vinci’s timeless insights into anatomy, engineering, nature, and art from August 9 to November 2.

Da Vinci Machines allows you to step inside the mind of a true genius, with the exhibition on display at Bribie Island Seaside Museum, Pine Rivers Heritage Museum and Redcliffe Museum.

On loan from the Museum of Leonardo da Vinci in Florence, Italy, this interactive exhibition showcases 60 replicas of Leonardo da Vinci’s most iconic inventions and artworks, meticulously crafted from his initial sketches.

Da Vinci’s inventions and discoveries are even more relevant today than they were in Renaissance Europe 500 years ago. By connecting his studies in anatomy, nature, engineering, geology and the arts, Leonardo came to a deep and unique understanding of the universe and our place in it.

The exhibition is sure to spark curiosity and imagination in learners of all ages, providing a rare, hands-on experience of Da Vinci's brilliance!

Good to know - This immersive and educational experience is great for children of all ages. 

Need to know - This free exhibition will be held from August - November at all City of Moreton Bay Museums. Opening weekend is August 8-10 and includes free activities and special guests. The exhibition ends Nov 2, 2025.
