And now we have da Vinci on display. What a great summer for art enthusiasts.
The Exhibit will be at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and is one
element of the Universal Leonardo. da Vinci's work in art, science and
technology. A series of linked exhibitions and scientific investigations will
take place across Europe during summer 2006. Interest in da Vinci has been
sparked by the book turned movie The Da Vinci Code. The exhibits run from
September 14 through January 7, 2007 in a number of European cities. Check out
which cities are participating as you may just be visiting one of them.

drill, swing bridges, cranes, pulley systems, street-lighting systems,
mechanical saw, contact lenses and compasses.
