The Henry Ford is set to unveil DaVinci The Exhibition, an exploration of the life and work of the ultimate Renaissance man. Opening on Sunday, October 26, 2025, and running through Sunday, May 3, 2026, this limited-time exhibition offers visitors a rare opportunity to step into the world of Leonardo da Vinci and experience his groundbreaking ideas across art, engineering, science, and more.
Featuring more than 65 full-scale inventions and over 20 fine art studies, the exhibition showcases da Vinci’s mastery and boundless curiosity. Guests can examine detailed reproductions of his designs for military machines, civil engineering marvels, flying apparatus, musical instruments, and other ingenious creations. The collection also includes in-depth studies of iconic works such as the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and Virgin of the Rocks, as well as explorations of debated works attributed to him.
Each invention on display was handcrafted by skilled artisans, faithfully following da Vinci’s original two-dimensional drawings and modern translations of his Codices—comprehensive volumes of sketches, notes, and ideas that capture the breadth of his genius. Enlarged illustrations and annotations further illuminate da Vinci’s studies on subjects like the golden ratio and the Vitruvian Man.
DaVinci The Exhibition is produced by Imagine.
