Singapore museum explores Da Vinci

23 Apr 2009

Singapore will prove a popular destination with travellers interested in art and science this year when it hosts an exhibition dedicated to the great Leonardo da Vinci.

The show, which is one of the largest and most comprehensive touring exhibitions on the Renaissance luminary, will be presented at the Science Centre Singapore from 15 May to 16 August.

Visitors will be offered plenty of opportunities to learn all about the great artist and inventor, with sections of the exhibition exploring his life and times and the machine designs that he dreamt up.

Other parts of the showcase will look at Renaissance art and the role that Da Vinci played in the movement and the secrets behind the Mona Lisa, arguably the artist's most famous work.

The Science Centre Singapore houses more than 1,000 interactive exhibits and attractions such as the Kinetic Garden, which brings together 35 sculptures and displays in an environment comprising waterfalls, fountains, ponds and other features.

Other cultural institutions in the city-state include the Asian Civilisations Museum, the Chinatown Heritage Centre and the Hua Song Museum.
