Leonardo da Vinci: Machines in Motion includes over 30 actual-size working machines, as opposed to miniatures or static displays. The machines were designed by a modern team of scientists and artisans who using the same construction techniques employed during Leonardo's time.

The exhibit is organized into four parts based on Leonardos study of the elements of nature and applied knowledge: earth, water, air and fire. Highlights include a revolving crane, a full-size armored tank (large enough for several visitors to explore inside), a working robot, and an oil press. Other displays include the auto feed hydraulic saw, the pillar lifter, floats for walking on water, the parachute and the machine gun.

The exhibition is of particular interest to students and young audiences because it provides an engaging combination of education and entertainment in an experience that explores history, science, mechanics and physics, invention and innovation.
