Imagine Exhibitions Gallery Featuring Da Vinci the Exhibition is not just a display. It’s a hands-on exploration of Da Vinci’s world. Established in 2014, this gallery brings Da Vinci’s genius to life right here in The Venetian Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
Tom Zaller, CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, says it best. “Boy, what didn’t this guy invent?” His work spans painting, sculpture, anatomy, military inventions, and city planning.
Touch history with over 65 fully built inventions. These aren’t just static models. You can operate them. See how Da Vinci’s clocks, cranes, submarines, and helicopters work. Experts translated his ancient Florentine writing to create these full-scale models. Da Vinci sometimes left out parts in his drawings. This was a way of protecting his ideas. The Imagine Exhibitions team deciphered his notes to recreate these incredible machines.
See the Archimedes screw in action. It demonstrates how to move water uphill. Da Vinci never actually built these machines. But now, you can see them working. This hands-on experience provides a deeper understanding. It is more than just looking at a drawing.
Marvel at more than 20 of Da Vinci’s artworks. They are presented in actual size. The Last Supper fresco makes a huge impression. Its size is nearly life-size. It gives you a sense of the real artwork displayed in Milan. Imagine Exhibitions Gallery Featuring Da Vinci the Exhibition provides background information. Learn how long Da Vinci took to create the Mona Lisa. Sixteen years.
Explore Da Vinci’s groundbreaking studies. Discover his work on the golden ratio and the Vitruvian Man. The golden ratio appears in many of his paintings. It influences the dimensions and backgrounds. Even modern logos like Pepsi use it.
The Imagine Exhibitions team made an interesting discovery. Rem Koolhaas designed the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum. It was formerly housed in this location. He used the golden ratio in each of the rooms.
