Civil Machines

No field of endeavor or discipline is untouched by the hand of Leonardo, be it manufacturing, farming, transport, marine, aviation, construction, and let’s not forget medicine, art, or military. No one before or since has achieved this depth and breadth of touch in so many fields. Here in this section we look at his Civil Machines. Leonardo was an inventor and dreamer, an innovator; so much of his work was never completed. Some of these machines on display have been reproduced via simple sketches, and others (like his motor car) from very detailed and intricate designs.
