The Leonardo is an art, science, and technology museum in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. It is housed in the former site of the main branch of the Salt Lake City Public Library, and in 1994 was the site of a hostage-taking. The museum opened on October 8, 2011.
The mission of the Leonardo Museum (named after the artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci) is to fuse science, technology and art in experiences that inspire creativity and innovation in young people and adults. This program is aimed to attract those individuals, families and businesses who can help to create and build on Utah’s and the city’s brand as an innovation economy.
The Leonardo hosted the Body Worlds 3 exhibition from September 19, 2008 through January 11, 2009.
The museum is run by the board of directors and a small staff with the help of a large group of local resident volunteers.
