The Leonardo

Museum and Visitor Services - The Leonardo is open Tuesdays through Sundays to the public, and provides daily engaging exhibits, floor programs with hands-on learning opportunities and creative innovative programs for all ages. Over the course of this year, the museum fully reopened after the pandemic, serving over 100,000 individuals through exhibits, events, outreach and programs. The Leonardo also hosted some traveling exhibits during this year, and opened a major new gallery, the 9,000sf IDEA Space that hosts immersive exhibitions and events. This was augmented by a redesigned Art Studio that serves students, families and groups with hands-on arts exploration.

Community Programming - Through field trips, hands-on workshops, educator evenings, and our science outreach program, The Leonardo directly impacted 33,208 K-12 students and teachers. Monthly community programs engage audiences with film screenings, panel discussions, lectures, demonstrations and more. Additionally, we partner with area organizations and schools to bring hands- on content to events and festivals throughout the year. Examples include STEM Fest, Arts Festival, Expanding Your Horizons, SheTech and many more. Over 50,000 individuals interact with The Leonardo at these off-site outreach events.

Community Events - The Leonardo works with corporate partners and community leaders to infuse their individual events with hands-on creative and innovative activities. The educational backdrop of the museum provides a unique venue to augment traditional corporate parties and retreats with fun and educational team-building exercises. The Leonardo also provides the community with unique events that cater to life-long learning. Specific programs include the science and art of food as the focus of our dining programs, building new skills through our Create What You Crave programs, and fun and educational activities for celebrations ranging from birthdays to anniversaries.
