Ten Drawings by Leonardo da Vinci: A Diamond Jubilee Celebration from the Royal Collection
About
The McManus: Dundee's Art Gallery and Museum is the only Scottish venue to host an exhibition of ten of Leonardo da Vinci's finest drawings from the Royal Collection.The exhibition forms part of the celebrations for the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen in 2012.
In these remarkable works visitors will marvel at the extraordinary scope of Leonardo's interests - ranging from hydraulics and engineering to anatomy and mapmaking - and his use of different media - pen and ink, red and black chalks, and metalpoint.
This is not only a unique opportunity to see some of the most fascinating and accomplished drawings ever produced, but also a chance to engage at first hand with one of the greatest minds of all time.
The exhibition will run from the Friday 31st August to Sunday 4th November 2012.
