I went to the [Natural History Museum](http://www.nhm.ac.uk/), and the [Victoria and Albert Museum](http://www.vam.ac.uk/) today, which isn't too shabby considering that I am jet-lagged and trying to get my body on the local schedule after taking the red-eye in.

The Da Vinci exhibit had pages from his notebooks and sketchbooks. Seeing the mind of a genius, the range of interests...the scope of what he accomplished, is astounding.

Go see it. Worth the trip to London.
