da Vinci Exhibit

I went to the Science Center of Iowa in Des Moines today.  The premier exhibit was one about Leonardo da Vinci.  I learned a lot about da Vinci through the exhibit.

First, he was an illegitimate, and thus not able to attain as much of the education he would have been able to get as a legitimate son.  However, this did not prevent him from taking apprenticeships with various people, learning a variety of trades.

The exhibit highlighted many of da Vinci's journals by bringing to life the inventions contained within them.  Many of the proposed inventions combined known ideas with da Vinci's observations of the world around him.

It is fascinating to consider the mind of da Vinci and the great works he created as a inventor and a painter. It left me wondering what his spiritual life was like.
