Last week we went on our first field trip to the North American premiere of the:"Da Vinci an Exhibition of Genius"
We had a blast. It was so fun because G has been learning about early European history and Leonardo.
The exhibit starts out with a beautiful timeline of Leonardo's life and how he fit into the history of the Renaissance. G has been learning about different artwork and the difference between Renaissance art and Medieval art. He immediately picked out a medieval picture in the timeline and said, "that picture is out of place." I looked at it and had to agree. I felt so proud of him!
The exhibit had all kinds of life-size machines, anatomical sketches and interactive displays. It was very interesting and we had a great time. GA did not enjoy the nudes, but once she started trying the interactive displays she was hooked!
I would definitely recommend this exhibit!

Wow, I hope it comes to a museum near me! We are studying da Vinci right now!
Sounds like it was great fun!!
Field trips are great! I'm going to see when/if it might be in our area.
A great day out that everyone enjoys is such a boost to the battery power.
Best wishes
I love going on field trips! I wish we could go more than we do! Glad it was a nice one.
