Leonardo da Vinci

I’ve recently had the opportunity to attend the public opening of Da Vinci the Exhibition at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

Born April 15, 1452, in Italy out of wedlock he lived to the age of 67 before passing on May 2, 1519.

Durning his lifetime he was a painter and created such works as the Mona Lisa …

and The Last Supper.

He was also an inventor and scientist that created the wooden cannon with multiple barrels ...

which became precursor to the modern machine gun.

Below is a life-size replica of his armor tank.

There are many more of his paintings, inventions and designs on display …

that runs now through May 3, 2026.
