Artisans of Florence

Discover the Machines of Leonardo da Vinci

Step inside a world where imagination becomes invention and centuries-old ideas come to life.

The Leonardo da Vinci Museum of North America features an extraordinary collection of working machines, engineering models, artistic reproductions, and interactive exhibits inspired by the notebooks and drawings of Leonardo da Vinci. Visitors can explore concepts of flight, robotics, mechanics, hydraulics, architecture, anatomy, and innovation through hands-on experiences designed to engage learners of all ages. The collection includes more than sixty machine reconstructions, facsimile codices, and reproductions of Leonardo's artistic masterpieces, offering a rare glimpse into the mind of one of history's greatest visionaries.

An Exclusive Partnership with the Artisans of Florence

Our exhibits are made possible through a unique partnership with the renowned Artisans of Florence, the world's leading creators of museum-quality Leonardo da Vinci reconstructions.

Based in Florence, Italy, the Artisans of Florence have spent decades collaborating with historians, engineers, and scholars to transform Leonardo's original sketches into fully realized three-dimensional models. Using historically accurate materials, traditional craftsmanship, and extensive research, they create machines that demonstrate how Leonardo's designs may have functioned in the Renaissance era. Their work has been featured in museums and exhibitions around the world and has helped millions of visitors better understand Leonardo's genius.

A Collection Found Nowhere Else in North America

The Leonardo da Vinci Museum of North America is proud to serve as the permanent home for this remarkable collection. Through our partnership with the Artisans of Florence, visitors can experience authentic reconstructions of Leonardo's inventions while exploring the connections between art, science, engineering, and creativity.

From flying machines and mechanical devices to robotics, hydraulic systems, and artistic masterpieces, every exhibit reflects Leonardo's belief that curiosity and imagination are the foundation of discovery. These exhibits do more than showcase history—they inspire visitors to think, create, and innovate.

More Than an Exhibit

Our galleries are designed to encourage exploration and lifelong learning. Through interactive displays, educational programming, rotating experiences, and STEAM-focused activities, visitors are invited to engage directly with Leonardo's ideas and consider how they continue to influence the world today.

Whether you are an artist, engineer, student, educator, or simply curious, our exhibitions offer an unforgettable journey into the life, work, and enduring legacy of Leonardo da Vinci.
