 We recommend, Adrenaline Rush: the Science of Risk to enhance your Leonardo experience. This film takes audiences on a breathtaking
journey from extraordinary heights, featuring spectacular footage of extreme skydiving while delving into both the biology of
risk-taking and the physics that make human flight possible. Also witness the experiment of Leonardo Da Vinci's notorious parachute
by Adrian Nicholas. For a complete film schedule or to purchase IMAX tickets online please visit http://www.thetech.org/imax/.
- The Renaissance Paintings are located in the lower level galleries of The Tech Museum. These two original Renaissance paintings by
Leonardo's disciples, on loan from the Uffizi Gallery in Florence include Leda and the Swan and The Virgin and the Child with St. Anne.
