Leonardo da Vinci's Workshop

Leonardo da Vinci's Workshop

Presented by The Franklin Institute at The Franklin Institute

February 5-May 22, 2011

The genius of Leonardo da Vinci, the greatest mind of the Renaissance, springs to life in this much heralded exhibit from Italy. Enjoy full-size three-dimensional models of da Vinci's doodles and sketches as interpreted by a team of dedicated engineers, designers and da Vinci scholars from Milan. See a working model of da Vinci's Aerial Screw, forerunner to the helicopter; his Great Kite; his Self-Propelled Cart; the Harpsichord-Viola—too complex to have been built in his lifetime; and a Mechanical Lion to dispense lilies, commissioned by Francis I of France. Touch one of the many computer screens located throughout the exhibit and electronically discover the mysteries inside the pages of Leonardo's Codices. Learn more about da Vinci's mind and inventions by experimenting with countless digital 3D models available on the interactive screens in the exhibit. Plus—for the first time new discoveries about The Last Supper, the most important painting by Leonardo, will be unveiled.

Jim's Steaks

South Street is one of Philadelphia’s most well known areas. There's always something happening, no matter if you visit on a Wednesday afternoon or a Friday night.

The diversity of the area makes for an excellent customer base for Jim’s Steaks, South Street’s classic cheesesteak shop. The crowds can sometimes mean a long wait before you actually get to taste one of Jim’s fine cheesesteak sandwiches, because the line at Jim’s often stretches out the front door and around the corner onto Fourth Street.

However, it's all worth the wait. When you're in Philly stop by and have a cheesesteak!
