Leonardo da Vinci: A Mind in Motion
Channel: British Library
Date: 2019-06-18

To mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci, we bring together highlights from three of his remarkable notebooks. Through pages of Leonardo’s handwritten notes, drawings and diagrams, prepare to explore the inner workings of his complex mind and his fascination with motion – which Leonardo considered to be ‘the cause of all life’.

For the first time in the UK, the exhibition displays highlights from one of the British Library’s finest treasures, the Codex Arundel, alongside the Codex Forster from the V&A and a selection of sheets from the Codex Leicester. Widely considered to be one of Leonardo’s most important scientific notebooks, the Codex Leicester will be shown in this country for the first time since it was purchased by Bill Gates.

Extra evening times added due to popular demand. Book now: https://www.bl.uk/leonardo
