About Leonardo at THE LUME
THE LUME Melbourne is the world’s largest digital art gallery, in the heart of Melbourne’s South Wharf precinct.
Here, iconic masterpieces come to life through stunning projections, immersive soundscapes, and engaging storytelling.
Perfect for art lovers and families alike, don’t miss your chance to explore art like never before.
Immerse yourself in iconic art on a colossal scale with THE LUME Melbourne’s Leonardo da Vinci – 500 Years of Genius presented by Webuild.
This experience celebrates the life and legacy of one of history’s greatest innovators, bringing his artistic brilliance and visionary ideas to life. Visitors of all ages will be inspired by this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore Leonardo’s world, highlighted by rare original pages from the Codex Atlanticus, on loan from Milan’s Biblioteca Ambrosiana.
After their three-month display here at THE LUME, these historic pages will return to Milan, to darkness for three years minimum, for preservation – making this presentation a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the Da Vinci original here in Melbourne.
This isn’t your typical stroll through an art gallery as you enter an immersive, digital world where the lines between art and reality blur.
Engaging all the senses with sights, sounds, scents, touch and taste, the intricate chronological narrative – woven through the streets of Florence, the canals of Venice and the grandeur of Milan – recreate the ambiance of the Renaissance. The experience is meticulously curated to unveil the life and human side of Leonardo.
As visitors navigate through the vast 3,000m² multi-sensory gallery, they will also gain a profound understanding of the inspirations, innovations and enduring impact of the maestro.
Central to the experience is a journey through the mind of a master inventor with an awe-inspiring display of 50 ‘machine inventions’, painstakingly crafted by, and on loan from, the Museo Leonardo da Vinci in Rome.
Skilled Italian artisans were commissioned to study and construct a range of inventions from da Vinci’s sketches, using, where possible, techniques and materials that would have been available to da Vinci himself in fifteenth century Italy.
Among them will be flying machine concepts that predate the realisation of human flight by more than 400 years.
We’re honoured to showcase this extraordinary collection, offering visitors a tangible connection to the ingenious spirit of the Renaissance.
Take a Break at Caffè Medici
