Inventor, scientist, writer and artist — Leonardo da Vinci is the original "Renaissance man." Tickets sold out to the blockbuster exhibition
Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan at London's National Gallery. (Bypassing Leonardo's scientific treatises and anatomy studies, the collection focused on paintings that the polymath completed as a court artist during the last two decades of the 1400s.) The museum appeased the culture-hungry masses by broadcasting gallery walk-throughs and expert commentary, as well as scenes from the preview gala, to theaters throughout the U.K.
Leonardo Live now crosses the Atlantic, and Tivoli Cinemas (4050 Pennsylvania, 816-561-5222) shows the program at 11 a.m. today (and at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 22, and 11 a.m. Saturday, February 25). If you want to sound smart while purchasing your $10 tickets, refer to the artist as "Leonardo" instead of "da Vinci," which identifies his birthplace. For more information, see
