Speed Art Museum Hosts a Leonardo Da Vinci Notebook and Treasures from the V & A - This once-in-a-lifetime exhibition will present 35 masterpieces selected from London’s Victoria and Albert Museum including a hand written notebook of the most famous Renaissance artist and inventor, Leonardo da Vinci. Other works in the exhibition include rare, small-scale religious and secular artifacts including medieval ivories, precious jeweled goldsmith’s works, stained glass, and Renaissance bronzes highly prized for their beauty, the value of their materials and for the exquisite workmanship that went into their creation.  Referred to as ‘Treasury Arts,’ these pieces were created principally for the embellishment of the church and chapel in the Middle Ages and for the cabinet and table of the wealthy collector in the Renaissance.

Obviously 4/20 has passed, but if I’d known of this at the time, I definitely would have travelled to see this exhibiton.
