Join us for an exclusive two-day member preview of “DaVinci The Exhibition,” a limited-time experience at Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation.
“DaVinci The Exhibition” is a detailed exploration of the life and work of the ultimate Renaissance man. Step into the world of Leonardo da Vinci through full-scale inventions, intricate art studies and stunning displays set against the backdrop of the Italian countryside. This limited-time exhibition brings to life da Vinci’s discoveries in art, engineering, science, flight and more to celebrate and study one of history’s most brilliant minds.
Each invention in this exhibition was handcrafted by skilled artisans following da Vinci’s original two-dimensional drawings and modern translations of his Codices — comprehensive collections containing nearly all of his sketches, notes and ideas.
EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS

⚖️ 65+ full-scale inventions, including machines designed for military use, civil engineering, flight, music-making and more.
🖼️ 20+ fine art studies, including investigation of masterpieces like “Mona Lisa,” “The Last Supper” and “Virgin of the Rocks” ─ as well as some debated works attributed to da Vinci.
✏️ In-depth explanations of da Vinci’s famous studies on subjects like the golden ratio and the “Vitruvian Man,” including enlargements of his sketches and notes.
🖐️ Select interactive machines, including a military tank, room of mirrors and rope pulley.
📼 Multimedia materials that illuminate da Vinci’s creative process and scientific discoveries.
This exhibition will be open in The Gallery by General Motors through May 3, 2026, and is free for members or included with museum admission. Learn more at THF.org/davinci.
