Leonardo

While in Milan, Denise and I went to the Leonardo Da Vinci museum. You aren't allowed to take pictures, but the things on display are incredible. What an intuitive and creative mind this man had. He was an expert in anatomy, kinesthetics, geometry, engineering, etc He designed and built some incredible stuff. It was interesting to see that a number of royals wanted him as a military engineer. He designed prequel prototypes of the gatling gun with small cannons, several flying machines, several advanced musical instruments, and a number of robotic designs. Denise and Judy and I went to a similar exhibit in Venice last year. The quantity and quality of his designs and inventions are awesome.
