The exhibit included everything from DaVinci's art to his many innovations and inventions. He was billed as "the man who wanted to know everything." Photos weren't allowed inside the exhibit, so this is the only glimpse you'll get unless you sneak on down there yourself. Be sure to check out the new revelations in the Mona Lisa room.
We scoured the whole place, from the fun and hands-on kids' room...
...to the astonomy wing where Jamie had fun with static electricity and we enjoyed a few shows in the planetarium.
Then we checked out the Channel 13 First Alert Storm Team wall and weather room.
The last stop was the Foucault Pendulum.
We watched the ball swing back...
...and forth...
...and back...and...well, you get the idea.
The sign said the ball knocks a pin down every five minutes. We waited for what felt an eternity. As the ball crept closer to the pins, you could hear the tiniest "ting" as it would brush past without knocking the pins over. Then finally...success! If you look really closely, you'll see the center pin is falling and hasn't quiet touched the bottom yet.
Looks like fun!
