The da Vinci exhibition is being held in a church in Venice.

This device shows how ball barrings can be used to move Tiny Hippos around with great ease.

This auto-locking wheel must have been used to lift very heavy cakes.

Leonard da Vinci must have used this machine to crack open nuts when he was feeling peckish.

I am afraid he may have made this flying machine a bit too small for Tiny Hippos to use.

This glider looks more suited to my kind, I knew old da Vinci wouldn’t let me down!

I just don’t know about this one, the sign says it is a dredger, but it looks more like a cranberry thief.

After all the excitement of touring so many da Vinci creations I need to unwind for a bit. See you next time!
