Leonardo da Vinci in London

It is a travel in time for five centuries ago. Today I have been visited the era of Leonardo da Vinci. An exhibition of the great Italian inventions is opened in London.  

Could you imagine that the artist even in XV century designed the things that now seem quite usual- lifts for lifting loads, mechanical musical instruments and even helicopters?

22 full-size models of machines and mechanisms are represented in the store of the "National Geographic». All of them have been re-created exactly according to drawings of the great masters of the Renaissance.

Then you see these ancient things you recognize with the surprise that the ideas of Leonardo da Vinci are more than actual. Despite the fact that he lived 500 years ago. Most of them were not understood by his contemporaries and could not be accepted. 

He is rather the engineer of the current era. Moreover, I think in the certain extent the invention of Leonardo made it possible that now, in which we live.

It is interesting that all models are valid. Some of them you even can buy. However, they are in the form of the constructor from which you can collect your favorite model.

I didn’t buy anything. But I strongly recommend all adherents of Leonardo’s talent to visit this exhibition.
