One of The Leonardo's core values is innovation. Just like our namesake, we celebrate all things ground-breaking, inventive, imaginative, and forward-looking. And this, to us, isn't just about presenting problems and solutions. It's about creating an environment in which everyone feels like they can find the answers by themselves and in themselves. It's about building foundations for solutions for things things we don't even know are problems yet. It's about creating a spark of excitement, a drive to discover, and a connection to our fellow man that motivates us to innovate and improve. This curiosity and zest for discovery is, put simply, what The Leonardo is all about.

 "Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all human change, improvement and progress." --Ted Levitt

Whether it's the photographs in our Human Rights Gallery that raise big questions and discussion or our exploration of algae's potential to power our future, innovation can be found in every person, in every idea, in big and small ways. Bring your big, brave, beautiful thinking. We'll bring the ways to engage and involve you in the wonder of discovery and inspiration of innovation, if you're 8 or 88. We want you to feel like you can change the world. Because what if you really do? We wouldn't be surprised.

We can't wait to see you when we open your doors. In the meantime, tell us what you would invent and talk about other big ideas with us on Twitter and Facebook!
