Many of us may be familiar with the famous Mona Lisa painting. Others may also recognise the Last Supper painting. But who was the man behind these paintings? You guessed it! It is Leonardo Da Vinci. Da Vinci was an Italian polymath who was commonly known as one of the most famous painters.
In honour of him, Science Centre Singapore organised an exhibition dedicated to educate visitors about Da Vinci and some of his remarkable paintings. From now till January 2022, head down to Science Centre Singapore and learn more about him at Da Vinci, The Exhibition.
Science Centre Singapore
Science Centre Singapore was opened in 1977 by Dr Goh Chin Chye who was the Ministry of Science and Technology back then. The centre serves as a learning platform for people of all ages. I love visiting the centre as I am able to learn more about science and technology around us (despite being an adult).
The centre consists of several areas such as the Main Building, The Annexe, Kinetic Garden, Omni-Theatre, KidsSTOP, and is home to our very own Snow City. Today, the centre receives about 1 million visitors every year.
Da Vinci, The Exhibition
Held at The Annexe, Da Vinci, The Exhibition allow visitors to learn more about this remarkable individual. The exhibition is a hands-on examination of Da Vinci’s life, research and art that features a collection of his discoveries in Southeast Asia.
You will get to learn about the complicated beginnings and achievements of Da Vinci discoveries in paintings, physics, music, military and more across 10 zones. This exhibition will definitely bring you on an unforgettable journey of the past.
Highlights
There are several highlights in the exhibition that you surely do not want to miss. The exhibition will feature more than 50 fully built, life-sized inventions over 15 fine art studies and plenty of beautiful displays.
Exhibits are designed by trained artisans who used Da Vinci’s Codices to design and construct the inventions, bringing designed machines and devices to life. Take the opportunity to discover Da Vinci’s intricate designs and concepts on modern inventions.
You can also get a close-up view of the artist’s exploration of the world of anatomy. It includes his study on subjects like the Golden Ratio. The exhibition is full of hands-on exhibits, allowing you to learn and have fun at the same time.
I am definitely going to visit Science Centre Singapore soon and learn more about this famous painter. Not only will I get to see his famous Mona Lisa painting, but I will also get to have some fun with these hands-on exhibits.
