The true starting point of the museum journey, the immersive video “Leonardo’s Mechanics” introduces the central theme of the collection. The digital elaboration, featuring a sequence of Leonardo’s drawings presented according to the themes addressed by the museum, reflects Leonardo’s continuous and passionate research on motion and its causes. Every single mechanical element of Leonardo’s projects seems to come to life thanks to the addition of sound elements that translate the individual graphic components into sounds.
Leonardo’s multifaceted activity finds in drawing the main tool for investigation, reflection, ideation, and design: no other contemporary was capable of doing the same. His machine drawings, so modern, current, and effective, continue to amaze and fascinate even today.
