Grande Experiences, a leading global arts and culture immersive experience company, is celebrating the opening of Leonardo da Vinci – 500 Years of Genius at Warehouse No. 1, Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei, Taiwan.
The immersive experience is presented by KKLive, and created and produced by Grande Experiences and Museo Leonardo da Vinci in Rome, and is touring globally.
Bruce Peterson, founder & CEO Grande Experiences, says: “Leonardo da Vinci’s contributions to art, science and innovation are immeasurable and continue to shape our modern world. We aim to provide a unique and immersive experience that not only celebrates the genius of Leonardo but also underscores the relevance of his ideas in the contemporary landscape.
“As a pioneer in bridging art and technology, Grande is honoured to bring Leonardo’s legacy to life in a way that engages, inspires and resonates with audiences of all ages.”

Unique interactive experience
Leonardo da Vinci, who was born in 1452, combined science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics in a way that was unprecedented in his day. Da Vinci’s inventive ideas extended beyond his well-known works of art, such as the enigmatic Mona Lisa, and included flying aircraft, military weaponry, and large-scale civic engineering projects. His endless curiosity illustrates the interconnection of STEAM fields and their impact on human progress.
At the centre of the exhibition is a collection of immersive art, original artefacts, objects, and inventions that have been expertly curated to reveal the depth of Da Vinci’s genius. Visitors can immerse themselves in his fascinating universe with exhibits from intricate sketches to life-sized replicas, which offer unprecedented insights into his impact on contemporary society and his lasting influence across the generations.
The exhibition features unique interactive elements to engage and inspire people of all ages. They range from an AI kiosk that gives an intriguing peek into Da Vinci’s mind to a Mona Lisa photo opportunity that allows you to step into the frame of one of history’s most renowned paintings.
Leonardo da Vinci—500 Years of Genius is a compelling combination of fun and information that is distinct from the typical museum visit. Every aspect of this exhibition has been crafted by Italian artisans and in-house Grande creative teams to provide a memorable experience.
Last month, Grande Experiences shared how its work is built on the passion of its team. Leonardo da Vinci – 500 Years of Genius realises the lifelong dream of the firm’s founder and chairman, Bruce Peterson, to produce the most extensive exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci possible and share it with new audiences.
