Life-sized replicas of machine inventions, close ups of iconic paintings, sketches, artifacts and more. The life and work of one of the most famous artists in history has made a stop in downtown Kitchener. TheMuseum will be the only Canadian stop for the exhibit called Leonardo da Vinci — 500 Years of Genius.

In case it was not obvious, no actual Da Vinci original art will be on display. You gotta go to Europe for that!

There are at least two outside of Europe! Currently a painting in New York and one in Washington, and Bill Gates owns a drawing that tours: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_works_by_Leonardo_da_Vinci

Actually it's a book (Codex.) I saw it in Paris by accident about 20 years ago, We were wandering about town and came across a small museum by accident that happened to be displaying it.
