Built in Florence, Italy, the exhibit is divided into four parts based on da Vinci’s study of the elements of nature and applied knowledge, according to a release. It features 40 actual-sized working machines that were designed by a team of modern scientists and assistants that used the craftmanship da Vinci would have used in his time.
