Experience "da Vinci on the Beach" at the Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort & Marina

**Package Includes Tickets to the New da Vinci Exhibit at the Elliott Museum**

Stuart, F.L. (March 4, 2013) — This spring and summer, the Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort & Marina is offering travelers a chance to add a little culture to their beach getaway with a package designed to highlight the debut of the "Leonardo da Vinci:  Machines in Motion" exhibit at the new Elliott Museum (located about a quarter mile down the road from the hotel).

The "Leonardo da Vinci: Machines in Motion" exhibit coincides with the opening of the new Elliott Museum.  It is a dramatic hands-on display of 40 full-size operational machine replicas made directly from Leonardo's innovative designs and drawings and will run through September.  The interactive exhibit encourages hands-on exploration of the machines designed by a team of scientists and artisans who used the craftsmanship and construction techniques originally found in Leonardo's prolific drawings and designs.  Highlights include a revolving crane, a full-sized armored tank (large enough for several visitors to explore inside), a working robot, a hydraulic water saw, and four flying machines.  The exhibit was created by Worldwide Museum Activities in conjunction with the Leonardo da Vinci Museum in Florence, Italy.[Back to Press Releases Main]
