That's a great idea and I would imagine a lot more feasible than making the physical exhibits more accessible.<BR/><BR/>Debate is good- and if an exhibit spurs that, I think it's wonderful. That could have been a fun way to allow people to contribute to the exhibit.Maria Mortatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345208082249376642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207720302407853697.post-12615904465137097742009-03-27T08:27:00.000-07:002009-03-27T08:27:00.000-07:00I saw the exhibit as well and share your frustrati...I saw the exhibit as well and share your frustration. I think it is a great undertaking to give three dimensional form to Leonardo's sketches. I can understand why the curators would not want to subject these models to the ravages of the general public. But at a minimum I would have liked to see a short video clip of some of the pieces in action. Clearly, some of these pieces could have proven Leonardo's concepts and some could never have worked (e.g. the flying machines) - such a mix of successes and failures is the way of all great inventors. On the other hand, if claims of success or failure were made, I suppose there would be an inevitable debate about how well the 3D model reflected Leonardo's true intent.mghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459240152561291256noreply@blogger.com
