The Leonardo Mission“The Leonardo is an educational and cultural center fusing science, technology, and the arts in experiences that inspire human creativity and innovation.” The Leonardo takes its name from a man who was many things—a scientist, an artist, an architect, an inventor, a true explorer. But above all, Leonardo was endlessly creative and courageous in his exploration of the world. The Leonardo’s exhibits and programs are centered upon the belief that each human being has this same capacity. To help visitors find their own imaginative voice, their own “Leonardo nature,” the museum will provide opportunities for young people and adults to explore subjects from a variety of perspectives, deepening both understanding and personal relevance. BODY WORLDS 3 is a perfect example of blending science, aesthetics and humanity to produce life-changing, “Leonardo” experiences. More than 25 million visitors have seen the exhibit, and most have been profoundly affected, and even transformed by what they have seen and learned. Gunther von Hagens, creator both of BODY WORLDS and the ground-breaking scientific process of plastination, which makes the exhibits possible, said this about Leonardo da Vinci: “His way of looking at the world and everything in it, allowed for him to ponder the unseen and bring it to life refracted through his own imagination.” Our hope is that visitors to BODY WORLDS 3 at The Leonardo will have this same experience.
