Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions come to life in Pueblo

PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- The new Leonardo da Vinci Museum of North America, set to open in the Spring, has officially assembled and installed several inventions inspired by ideas found in da Vinci's original manuscripts.

The musuem say these ideas were assembled and installed by the Artisans of Florence, from Florence, Italy.

"A lot of Leonardo da Vinci's inventions were concept designs that were never built. The few that were actually built in his time were actually his robots, which is really exciting to think that 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was inventing and actually building mechanical robot human beings."

The museum tells KRDO13 that its exhibits are meant to be interactive, so you can get a sense of how some of these inventions worked.
