The World of Leonardo

The Château du Clos Lucé - Parc Leonardo da Vinci new website presents a section titled 'The World of Leonardo'. It is divided in 4 parts:

- The life of Leonardo
- The disciplines of Leonardo
- The Machines
- Places linked with Leonardo

Another interesting section [also in Italian], called 'Da Vinci Tour', invites you to follow in the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci. It also offers information about biography, bibliography, and links to other museums in Vinci, Florence, Milan and Amboise.

* article by John Lichfield ["The Independent"] about the French plans: "The building where Leonardo lived for three years before his death has already reinvented itself as a Da Vinci museum and visitor centre. It now has ambitious plans to become the world's first "intellectual and cultural theme park"."
