The Leonardo

There is a museum near our home called The Leonardo that is amazing.  Not only do they have cool exhibits come through (like the Da Vinci inventions) but they have an Art Lab where supplies are left out to create a variety of art projects.  A few days ago when we went to the latest Mummies exhibit we ventured beyond the Art Lab (usually we get caught up in the fun of that section) and discovered the Tinkering Garage where they have all sorts of random objects and projects and building supplies laying around where visitors are encouraged to invent, create and design.  And they store the stuff and clean up the mess!

Next we happened upon an area where they have several miniature sets and cameras to make animated movies, and other camera fun stations.  The girls begged to stay all night.  We have a membership so we'll definitely spend lots of time there.
