North America’s first and only Leonardo da Vinci Museum is opening in Pueblo, Colorado later this fall. The museum will feature interactive exhibitions and life-sized replicas based on da Vinci’s drawings and sketches. It’s approach will center on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) as an educational guide to problem solving.

The former Professional Bull Riders Center near the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk will become the new home of the Leonardo da Vinci Museum of North America, accompanied by an outdoor cafe. Plans for the new institution were granted final approval by the Colorado Economic Development Commission.
