Take a peek inside a museum where Leonardo da Vinci’s ideas take shape. Dave Moore gets a preview of the new Leonardo da Vinci Museum of North America with tour guide Craig Eliot.

This entire exhibit is made possible by the Artisans of Florence. They bring da Vinci’s original sketches to life.

Their team of historians, engineers, and master craftsmen had spent decades translating da Vinci’s notebooks into fully functional machines that remain true to the original scale, mechanics, and materials. However they also incorporate 21st century technology like virtual reality, holograms and artificial intelligence.

Work on the museum was still going on at the time of this recording. So you’ll hear some construction and other noises in the background. Dave speaks to a handful of people doing work along the way.

They include:

Bonnie Waugh, artist

Joe Arrigo, Founder & Executive Director

Tom Rizzo, Artisans of Florence

Paulo Gori, Artisans of Florence

Joel Carpenter, artist doing Last Supper

Some of the exhibits include:

• Flight & Imagination
• Machines & Robotics
• Water & Power
• The Human Body as Machine

These exhibits also appear in major museums across Europe — and in North America, it can be experienced only here in Pueblo.

The plan is for the museum to open May 2026.
