Hosted by Sensea Immersive, this production of Crossmedia Group from Florence, Italy, was previously staged internationally and is now accessible for the first time in North America. The experience features the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci through four distinct rooms, including a 360-degree immersive room, educational centre, and a virtual reality visit to Da Vinci’s Florence studio. Attendees can look forward to a visual and sensory experience unlike anything ever seen before, celebrating the life and work of the renowned artist, inventor, engineer, innovator, Leonardo da Vinci.
Guests from across the province and border will be welcomed to visit the experience, as well as BC students in grades 4 - 12. As part of a newly integrated curriculum, BC Students will be eligible for lesson plans embedding British Columbia Provincial Learning outcomes from Social Studies, Science, and Health Education. The Learning Resource Package will explore key concepts of DaVinci’s life, art, work, and discoveries that intersect the BC learning curriculum.

It has been seen worldwide by more than 3 million visitors, with the Da Vinci Experience marking the group's first show in Canada or the US.
