An exciting exhibition titled "Leonardo and the Measurement of Time" is taking place at the Museum Leonardo3 in Milan, focusing on one of Leonardo da Vinci's lesser-known inventions: a mechanical clock designed in around 1490. This clock exemplifies Leonardo's intricate understanding of time and mechanics during his time in Milan. It offers a unique glimpse into how the Renaissance genius conceptualized instruments to measure minutes, hours, and days with scientific precision.

On March 5, the museum will host a public event to officially activate two new machines that were added to the permanent collection last December. This activation marks a significant moment for both the museum and the appreciation of Leonardo's contributions to timekeeping. The event will be inaugurated by a well-known YouTuber and science communicator, drawing public interest and highlighting the blend of modern technology and historical innovation.

The project not only aims to honor Leonardo's legacy but also engages contemporary audiences by connecting historical inventions with modern interpretations. Visitors to the museum can expect to learn about the relationship between art and science as seen through Leonardo’s inventions, further encouraging discussions on how innovative ideas from the past can continue to influence the present and future in the realm of precise scientific measurement.
