The laboratory, Clos Lucé Leonardo da Vinci, painter and architect, Amboise
Between heritage enhancement and innovation, the "Leonardo da Vinci Painter and Architect Galleries" project is the rehabilitation of an industrial building into a new museographic space. The programme includes an immersive room, an exhibition room with models, drawings and artefacts, 3D animations and video games, a room for school activities and a bookshop. These complementary rooms immerse young and old alike in the creative process of the Renaissance master.
