Incredible Leonardo DaVinci

Leonardo DaVinci was an incredible scientist, artist and inventor. Did you know he invented the first tank? The first bicycle? He was definitely a man ahead of his time.

The St. Louis County Library is pleased to be a sponsor of the DaVinci Exhibit that is currently showing in downtown St. Louis. We will be partnering with the DaVinci Exhibit by offering programs for students and adults.

All St. Louis County Library branches will be presenting a hands-on program for students ages 8-12. It is a great way for kids to learn about DaVinci’s life and inventions.

The curator of the exhibit will also give a compact lecture on DaVinci’s life and legacy at the Florissant Valley, Daniel Boone, Headquarters and Tesson Ferry branches. Please visit our website for more information.


Before you see the exhibit or go to the programs, check out the books we have on Leonardo DaVinci.
