【原文】

This year, all of Italy --- particularly Florence --- is celebrating the achievement of Leonardo da Vinci. The great artist and inventor once lived in the city. He passed away 500 years ago.

If you want to know more about the inventor, the Leonardo da Vinci Museum is a right place for you. Why? Because it is very special. The museum is interactive. It is filled with reproductions of Leonardo’s inventions. And all these exhibits can be touched by visitors.

The museum’s founder, Gabriele Niccolai said, “When I was a kid, I remembered that the signs told us not to touch anything in museums. That bothered me. I wanted to break that rule and create something. So kids could actually touch everything in that place”

So ten years ago, Niccolai opened the Leonardo da Vinci Museum. He and his father built the first exhibits together.

Niccolai is proud that he is able to bring Leonardo’s inventions to life. He thinks Da Vinci would be proud to see his work being passed on in this way. “Kids should be curious. In that way, they can be like Da Vinci,” Niccolai said.
