Join us for an exclusive two-day member preview of “DaVinci The Exhibition,” a limited-time experience at Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation.
“DaVinci The Exhibition” is a detailed exploration of the life and work of the ultimate Renaissance man. Step into the world of Leonardo da Vinci through full-scale inventions, intricate art studies and stunning displays set against the backdrop of the Italian countryside.
