The wheel, the cotton gin, the Internet...they all started as an idea and grew into movements that would reshape society as we know it. The DaVinci Machines: The Original Machines Exhibit is dedicated to featuring these visionary ideas. Geek out to your heart's content with today's deal of admission for two for just $14 (a $28 value).

On loan from the Museum of Leonardo DaVinci in Florence, Italy, this exhibit contains over 60 hand-crafted inventions built from Leonardo’s 500-year-old designs and is the life work of three generations of Florentine artisans, who have painstakingly brought to life the creations by the brilliant scientist, inventor and artist Leonardo DaVinci. With over 60 machines grouped in themes such as War machines, Flying machines, Nautical & Hydraulic machines, as well as devices illustrating the Principles of Mechanics on display (many of which are interactive), the collection features replicas of the major and most striking inventions of the original Renaissance Man. Explanatory notes and illustrative panels with Leonardo’s drawings accompany each model.
