Vitruvian visit
 

Hello helpers...Does anyone know if Leonardo's Vitruvian Man is on display to the general public in Gallerie dell'Accademia? Thank you for your help...Humphry

It is kept in storage for preservation purposes--might be on display occasionally--you'd have to check with the gallery/

Maybe a copy even - like the David outside Uffizi?

It was displayed in 2013 which was the first time in 30 years.

FYI, if you're planning to visit the Gallerie, a restoration project is starting on June 8th, and some rooms on the first floor will be closed.

Pal, you can print your own copy

...Or I could just hang up my Kinks' "Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround" album and show the back cover instead of trying to appreciate a classic by Leonardo...

Thank you ellenem for the information. It helps cross- reference research I have done through misc. Italian museum sites trying to get an answer...Humphry

Hello Helpers...I just received a gracious reply from the Italian Cultural Office that the work by Leonardo is not on display in order to protect it. The next time it will most likely have a showing is in 2019. This will be to honor the 500th anniversary of Leonardo's death.Thanks for the help provided by all...Humphry
