i.lab Leonardo

Do brainwaves always work? How far can a scientist go? In this section one can interact with Leonardo’s inventions reconstructed on a large scale: a beating wing and aerial screw to try flight, a cochlea and pulley to lift bodies and spheres and gears to move things. Models and images of the Last Supper reveal a man with many ideas.
