About the Exhibition

Which works did Leonardo read? What knowledge did he possess when he embarked on his own studies? The reconstruction of his library and of how it developed throughout his life offers a new perspective that shows Leonardo as a man of letters–as an intellectual striving to find the connections between microcosm and macrocosm in all aspects of nature, as well as of human existence. Since his own books have unfortunately been lost over time, the exhibition presents comparable contemporary works made available by various Berlin libraries. In addition to these books, objects that provide unique insight into Leonardo's working environment and the world in which he lived are shown.

You can also learn about the exhibition through a variety of multimedia sources including virtual exhibitions, feature articles, and online resources on the Exhibition Page
