The Leonard Di Vinci Museum 

The Leonardo Di Vinci museum was very interesting. Before we attended, I only knew him for his famous paintings.  I did not know that he was a famous inventor as well.  Keely’s presentation also showed some insight to this as well and I took into account while viewing the museum what she was mentioning about how a lot of his inventions are not know for certain to be his because the documentation was not all correct. I loved how the museum was interactive because I am more of a hands on learner.  I did not know he was the one who invented the ball bearings which I always learn about in physics. It was cool to be able to relate that to what I’ve previously learned. I also enjoyed seeing the scuba gear he invented along with the flippers. I swam in high school so seeing the paddles that I used were invented by him was very cool. The scuba set was also very creepy. The last thing I thought was interesting was the bicycle on display so many places. I read that they were not 100% sure if he was the first to invent the bicycle because they found sketches of it on his previous documents. Even though they weren’t sure, they still advertised that he did because everyone knows what a bicycle is but not many may know what a ball bearing is or other war machines he invented. They do this to get people interested and bring them in to find out more.
