Undressed to Impress in Vancouver…

Anatomical Manuscript A

The Olympics are just around the corner and Vancouver’s art scene is geared up to impress its share of the thousands of people soon to flood the city.  The Vancouver Art Gallery will be exhibiting a rare collection of Leonardo da Vinci’s anatomical drawings from February 6th to May 2nd.  It will be the first time that “Anatomical Manuscript A” will be shown to the public as a complete set since da Vinci drew them in the early 1500’s.  The exhibit concentrates on the movements of musculature and the structures of the human body, a very fitting collection considering the large amount of muscled athletes that will be in Vancouver for the Olympics.  Not that most of us need any help imagining them without their uniforms. The exhibit will be free for the duration of the Olympics, February 12th-28th, although it might be so busy during that time that you’ll be touching a few human bodies as well looking at them.
