Leonardo as a Universal Genius of the Renaissance
Leonardo da Vinci remains a key figure in European art and cultural history. The master born in Vinci developed not only iconic artworks but also visionary technical designs that continue to display an astonishing modernity derived from his notebooks and drawings. His research in flight, water, motion, and construction exemplifies Renaissance thought in its purest form.

Interactive Machines in the Heart of Kassel's City Center
Among other things, a hang glider, a self-driving cart, ball bearings, a diving suit, a self-supporting bridge, and a multiple cannon will be shown. Many models are available for hands-on experience, making the observation of the works an aesthetic experience. The exhibition on the 2nd floor of the City-Point Kassel transforms a shopping location into a space for cultural education.
