Leonardo Da Vinci

On Sunday my sister, and I went to the Leonardo Da Vinci Exhibit in the Tech Museum. I had heard mixed reviews about it. Some people said it was good, others said it was good only good if you had prior knowledge about Da Vinci, and some people said it was very boring. I knew only a few facts about him, and his work.
In the beginning it was quite boring, since we didn’t have a tour guide, and I was getting tired of reading the side notes. I was so happy when my sister, and I ran into a tour group. It was better to listen to the tour guide since she told us interesting information about the artifacts there, and about Leonardo himself. I enjoyed many parts of the exhibit, but disliked some. I found his study of the human body, very fascinating. My favorite part were the paintings. I found “The Virgin and Child with St. Anne” (the painting below) very interesting since you couldn’t tell whose legs were whose. I was very disappointed to only see two paintings, I was hoping to see more. Overall I enjoyed most of the exhibit I found out a lot about Da Vinci, but I do think some parts were boring.

Yeah, there were some parts that were boring but other than that, I really enjoyed the exhibit. The only criticism that I agree with as well was the lack of paintings. I really did hope to see more of his magnificent art and the true stories behind each. However, there were only a couple that seemed interesting.
