The Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre had an abundance of information regarding DaVinci's inventions and art. I discovered many new inventions of his, along with the importance of his contribution to the technology of the 1400s and 1500s. He had many revolutionary inventions and ideas that were never created, like his ideal city. The Ideal City was a city based around a river, using a series of canals as transportation and as a sewage system. He created many machines that imitated living things, such as the Mechanical Lion, and the Mechanical Knight. Most of his inventions use pulley systems to function. The Mechanical Lion had a drum in its chest to imitate the sound of a lion. He created many flying machines (the mechanical bat, and the aerial corkscrew are his most recognisable), although none were successful. Along with being an inventor, he was also a renowned artist. His most famous works are the last supper, of Jesus and his apostles, and the Mona Lisa.
Upon arriving at the museum, students of FHCI were given a green sticker to admit them into the Da Vinci exhibit, where we discovered Leonardo Da Vinci's lesser known inventions and works of art. After about an hour, students and other visitors gathered in the Imax Theatre, a large, dome shaped theatre, for a viewing of "Under the Sea", a documentary about the effect of global warming on marine life forms narrated by Jim Carrey.
The Imax Theatre was, in my opinion, the most impressive part of the museum. The sound system and the size of the screen provided an unreal way to experience the documentary. The way the sound system could appear through the screen was an excellent way to boast modern technology and the resources available to the museum.
