In Sand in Taufers Castle

The Castle of Sand in Taufers, in South Tyrol, will host  from 16 March to 31 August 2008, an exhibition dedicated to the genius and the art of Leonardo da Vinci.

The exhibition was conceived and designed to involve both children and adults. Anyone visiting the exhibition, will be able to take a dip in the past and come into close contact with the creative genius of Leonardo in its many expressions.

The exhibition, wants to interest, entertain and create awareness, and also enrich the people who decide to visit it.

Visitors will have the opportunity to "share" the two great worlds of Da Vinci: that of painting and that of inventions!

You can admire  the Cenacle, the Gioconda, the Lady with Ermellino, the Virgin of the Rocks and other important works.

The exhibition also exposed more than 40 machines invented by Leonardo in wood, metal and cloth. Some of these machines will be in operation, so that the adults and young people can see and understand empirically their operation.
