Da Vinci

I found many things in the Da Vinci exhibit very interesting. He had many great ideas and figured out some great things that were really ahead of his time. I found it fascinating that he even drew sketches of flying machines and equipment to be used under water. Many of his ideas were taken and tweaked and we now use many of his ideas in our everyday lives.

As I am very interested in music, I found the musical instruments he had designed to be very interesting. He designed a portable piano, a mechanical drum for the military, and a double flute.

I also find it interesting that though Da Vinci was a pacifist, he designed many killing machines for the military. He designed something that would potentially cut off the heads of several men at one time and something very similar to a tank.
