The Leonardo Museum of Creativity & Innovation was created to honor and embody the spirit of Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance man. We see the world as he saw it : full of wonders to be uncovered, always asking why? We sincerely believe in each person's infinite potential. We see obstacles as opportunities to play beyond limits and discover each person's unique genius.
Our vision is to create a dynamic, influential space where people feel included, inspired, and connected to one another and the world. Our purpose is to create a world without barriers to build momentum toward a better future through self-discovery, collaboration, and connection. Our museum is a place where you can freely wander and wonder. Come and discover your inner genius, just like Leonardo did. Look around. Ask the big questions. Have fun. Welcome.
