Take a timeless journey through an immersive space to discover one of the most versatile, complex and fascinating icons in our history: Leonardo da Vinci. This is “Time • Treasure: Dialogue With Leonardo da Vinci,” a multimedia exhibition dedicated to the genius of Da Vinci.

Da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian polymath of the High Renaissance who is widely considered one of the most diversely talented individuals ever to have lived. While his fame initially rested on his achievements as a painter, he also became known for his notebooks, in which he made drawings and notes on science and invention; these involve a variety of subjects including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and paleontology.

His genius epitomized the Renaissance humanist idea, and his collective works made a contribution to later generations of artists rivaled only by that of his contemporary Michelangelo.

The power of the innumerable artistic masterpieces born from his immense talent is revealed, from sculptures to frescoes such as “The Last Supper” and “Lady With the Ermine.” Through evocative panoramas and precious details, the best of Da Vinci’s artworks come to life.

The immersive rooms are kaleidoscopic and Instagram-friendly, enveloping all the senses and creating a vortex of pure wonder. The exhibition, thanks to the breathtaking display created by Art Media Studio in Italy, is an exciting experience that, through the most innovative technologies, makes a complete portrait of Da Vinci through images, music, and interactive experiences.
