Starting tomorrow the Vancouver Art Gallery will be hosting an exhibit featuring the work of Leonardo Da Vinci. Quoting the website:

Shown for the first time as a complete group in this exhibition, Manuscript A encompasses thirty-four of Leonardo’s pen and ink anatomical drawings on eighteen sheets of paper, rendered during the winter of 1510-1511. Included are the first known accurate depictions of the spinal column and two magisterial sheets depicting the musculature of the lower legs and feet. The works are graciously loaned by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II from The Royal Collection, Windsor.

While this is all very exciting, the VAG has a history of disappointing me. The last exhibit claimed to have Vermeer and Rembrandt featured. It was only after I paid my $50 that I discovered that out of the hundreds of works of art there were 3 Rembrands, and 1 Vermeer about 8×8 inches. I will be very cautious before I attend another event at the VAG, and I’ll be waiting for testimonials before I go to this one. Please leave a comment if you go.
