There is a great Leonarado da Vinci exhibition happening in Venice, the best part is that you get to play with all of the machines!

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

Tiny Hippo uses Cam Hammer

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.

Da Vinci Hang Glider

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!
