Da vinci is here!

The long awaited exhibition is finally here!
& It is going to be held in the National Science Center in KL :D

I can't wait to go, when the replica of Mona Lisa with that famously enigmatic smile of hers is waiting to be viewed!

The exhibition will be a hit! As many will probably want to visit the once-in-a-lifetime exhibition.

Direct from Italy, this world acclaimed exhibition from the Il Genio de Leonardo da Vinci Museo brings to life Leonardo's genius as an inventor, artist, scientist, anatomist, engineer and architect.

Now also including the new and revealing Secrets of Mona Lisa exhibit from Paris, Da Vinci - The Genius is the most comprehensive exhibition ever assembled on the greatest mind that ever lived. An amazing experience and inspiration for the whole family!!!!

Secrets Of Mona Lisa

Pascal Cotte, French scientific engineer and photographer of fine art, invented a 240-million pixel camera to photograph the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, allowing for the most accurate recreation of the masterpiece for the very first time in its original colour and the unveiling of 25 startling revelations.

Revolutionary technology bringing science and art together, just as Leonardo did over 500 years ago.

Inside the exhibition will be:

• The unveiling of the 25 secret revelations about the priceless and world’s most famous painting: Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa.”
• A 4m x 3m giant infrared photograph showing details of the masterpiece never before seen
• Extraordinary details of previously undisclosed and new discoveries about the masterpiece.
• The most accurate replica of the Mona Lisa ever made, without the frame and on wood displayed as a 360° walk around piece.
• The ability to examine and compare displays of her colour as she is now, her original colour in 1506, and her colour with varnish removed.
• Amazing high definition giant images of the painting and various sections, at a resolution of 1500dpi revealing incredible details that cannot be seen under normal conditions by the human eye
• Pascal reveals how he and his team were allowed unprecedented access to the Mona Lisa by The Louvre – to photograph the painting “in the nude” (outside of its frame and without its protective enclosure) and make scientific examinations that resulted in the secrets revealed and on display at Da Vinci - The Genius.

Here's some images from within various previous exhibitions of Da Vinci - The Genius


















So many wonderful sights to behold! ;)
& it's certainly one of the things that I wouldn't had dream to miss!

The Unbelievable Person of His time!

Believe it or not!
It 's Da Vinci .......

He is a scientist, engineer, mechanic, artist......and much more.
Everything he has achieve are ahead of his time.
all of it
written in his infamous notebook

Da Vinci is famous for his painting "Mona Lisa" but the ideas of his inventions capture my interest to know more about him.

It is known that Da Vinci has a notebook containing his ideas and inventions.
When I saw a series called "Young Blade", in one of its episode the protagonist get their hands on Da Vinci's notebook and built a machine gun. At the time line of the movie there is no such advancement.

Then there is the book Da Vinci Code.. The thrill & the mystery of it!

Besides that, they also made it into a movie >.<

This book describes the attempts of Robert Langdon, Professor of Religious Symbology at Harvard University, to solve the murder of renowned curator Jacques Saunière of the Louvre Museum in Paris. A baffling cipher is found near his body. Saunière's granddaughter, Sophie Neveu and Langdon attempt to sort out the bizarre riddles and are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo Da Vinci.

The unraveling of the mystery requires solutions to a series of brain-teasers, including anagrams and number puzzles. The ultimate solution is found to be intimately connected with the possible location of the Holy Grail and to a mysterious society called the Priory of Sion, as well as to the Knights Templar. The story also involves the Roman Catholic organization Opus Dei.
