THE North-West is hosting an exhibition worthy of humankind's largest cities.
Leonardo Da Vinci, famous for his paintings in the 1400s, was an expert mathematician and engineer who designed fantastic flying machines.
Da Vinci's genius was too advanced for a world that considered flight to be an act of sorcery.
From tomorrow, you too will be able to witness that genius.
Burnie Regional Art Gallery director Geoff Dobson said The Da Vinci Machines Exhibition, with more than 75 exhibits constructed from da Vinci's drawings and designs, was truly a world-class event.
"[This exhibition] has been shown in major capital cities around the world, like Madrid, Hong Kong, Dubai and now it is in Burnie," Mr Dobson said.
He said the flying machines were his favourite pieces.
"To think that da Vinci had cracked the science of flight 400 years before the Wright brothers did, that's impressive," he said.
Not only science and engineering buffs will get something from this exhibition.
There will be artworks and other items to interest historians, or anyone who likes models.
Burnie Mayor Steve Kons said this was one of Burnie's finest exhibitions.
The exhibition is open from tomorrow until April 6, 10am- 4.30pm daily. Visit www.burniearts.net.
