Miami, don’t leave this one until mañana.
On view through Sunday, April 5, 2026, Leonardo da Vinci – 500 Years of Genius at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science invites guests of all ages to step inside the mind of history’s ultimate creative multitasker.
“Learning never exhausts the mind” wasn’t just a quote, it defined da Vinci’s life. His bound journals, known as codices, fill the galleries with sketches, questions, and experiments that reveal his endless curiosity about everything from the human body to the mechanics of flight.
Created by Grande Experiences in collaboration with the Museo Leonardo da Vinci in Rome, this is the most comprehensive and immersive exploration of his work ever presented. Blending art, science, storytelling, and technology in a fully bilingual (English and Spanish) experience, the exhibition feels especially at home in Miami.
Inside, da Vinci’s ideas leap off the page through full-scale models of flying machines, early helicopter concepts, and intricate mechanical systems. You’ll see how he studied movement, balance, and force with remarkable precision centuries before modern engineering.
Guests can even compare their own proportions to his iconic Vitruvian Man at an interactive station exploring symmetry and the human form. The experience then unfolds into a multi-sensory projection gallery, where his notebooks come alive through floor-to-ceiling imagery, music, and immersive effects.
The journey culminates with Mona Lisa Revealed, featuring the world’s only exact 360-degree replica of the famous painting, alongside high-resolution displays that spotlight the delicate shading, the careful positioning of her hands, and the mystery of her smile.
Admission includes access to the museum’s permanent exhibitions, three-level Aquarium, and the Frost Planetarium.
More than an art exhibition, Leonardo da Vinci – 500 Years of Genius is a celebration of creativity, curiosity, and bold thinking, leaving guests inspired by his brilliance.
