Special Discount Tickets for Da Vinci Exhibit Available Until June 30

LOS ANGELES, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- To coincide with the opening of Sony Pictures' "The Da Vinci Code" this weekend, the Palm Springs Air Museum is offering Southern California residents special advance discount tickets for the Da Vinci Experience exhibit. This premier west coast exhibit will feature more than 60 working replicas of Da Vinci's machines between November 3, 2006 and February 25, 2007. Early bird discount tickets are available until June 30th to the first 1,000 people who apply for them.

According to Godfrey Harris, co-manager of the Da Vinci Experience exhibit, "There is no doubt that interest in Leonardo da Vinci and his unique contribution to our culture has been greatly increased in anticipation of the release of the film. We thought it only appropriate to support this expanding attention to one of the world's most intriguing personalities by offering special early interest discount tickets to the Da Vinci Experience exhibit at the Palm Springs Air Museum."

Residents of Southern California are invited to log onto http://www.palmspringsairmuseum.org/ for a link to ticketing information about the Da Vinci Exhibit. Alternatively, residents are invited to call the Palm Springs Air Museum at 760-778-6262, ext. 239 to learn how to apply for as many early bird discount tickets as desired while supplies last. Early bird VIP tickets are priced at $15 for adults, $12.50 for seniors (65+), and $10 for students (6-17). Children under 6 are free. The early bird tickets are approximately 15% less than the regularly priced tickets.

The machines in the exhibit are organized around three themes: transportation, military and mechanical. Each model has been built according to Da Vinci's notes and with the materials available in 15th century Italy. Eleven machines are full-size and 25 are interactive. People of all ages will be fascinated by the chance to manipulate these machines to see how Da Vinci intended for them to function. Each replica is displayed with a facsimile of the relevant Da Vinci drawing and an explanatory text.
