From Denver Museum of Nature & Science: Inventor, artist, scientist, anatomist, engineer, architect, sculptor, philosopher. Although Leonardo da Vinci died in 1519, his influence has endured. His extraordinary legacy comes to life in the exhibition "Leonardo da Vinci: 500 Years of Genius," opening at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science on March 1. The exhibition is presented in Denver by the Sturm Family Foundation.

The story of Leonardo is told through a variety of experiences that illustrate why the ultimate Renaissance man remains an inspiration for the ages. Although Leonardo is one of human history's most famous people, he left behind very few tangible examples of his studies and works.
