The mission of the Château du Clos Lucé (located in Amboise), is to draw a wider public to discover and appreciate Leonardo da Vinci as an artist, scientist and engineer. His residence and park are spaces of innovation and interactivity: they present a living heritage in movement, open to the future.
The immersive show will offer the key to understanding the pictorial process, from preparatory drawing to final painting. 3D animations will also help explain how Leonardo’s inventions worked by setting them into motion in a virtual universe.
In addition, visitors will enter an experimental multimedia room combining VR technologies, augmented reality, motion design and video games, to simulate a flight over the flying machines of the Palais Royal de Romorantin, reconstituted in 3D. Visit Château du Clos Lucé online for more info.
