JUNE DA VINCI DAYS
Join us on these Thursdays in June as we learn more about Leonardo, his machines and his interpretation of the world around him.
We will have a limited supply of personal pan pizzas from Pizza Hut available for $2.50. Cash only, please.
June 11: Machines in Motion, 1 – 8pm
You don’t have to be a genius to work with gears, pulleys and levers. Come test your architectural skills as you build bridges, arches and your own magnificent structures. Stay for the afternoon and enjoy a story, watch a unicycle demonstration and meet our “visiting physicist” in the Simple Machines room.
June 18: Water, 1 – 8pm
Don't worry, you don't need your swimsuit or pool toys to enjoy this day. Create a tornado, try on some swim fins, and learn how to train a "pet octopus"! Enjoy a movie, a story, or talk with a SCUBA expert. Come catch a wave!
June 25: Flight, 1 – 8pm
There are no long lines to stand in to catch a day of “FLIGHT” at the Mayborn museum! Test your parachuting skills and create a feather helicopter. Fasten your seat belts and put your seats and tray tables in the full upright and locked positions...and the in-flight movie is part of your ticket price! See you at the Mayborn.
NOTE: We're open from 10 - 8 on Thursdays, but the activities take place from 1 - 8pm.
About the Exhibit:
Experience the genius of Leonardo da Vinci through forty machines based on his visionary designs. Each machine has been faithfully constructed from Leonardo's notebooks by a modern team of scientists and craftsmen in the heart of the Renaissance-Florence, Italy.
