Leonardo da Vincci exhibit
Oct. 1 to Jan. 28: Leonardo da Vinci may best be known for painting
the Mona Lisa, but the legendary mind also invented some of the
earliest flying machines. Explore the history at the Museum of
Flight's newest exhibit "Leonardo da Vinci: Man, Inventor, Genius,"
which opened last week. While you're there, check out the expansive
wing devoted to the planes of World War I and II, and of course,
don't miss stepping aboard Air Force One.

recommended; $22. Museum: Sunday-Saturday. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. $14.

"Thom Pain (based on nothing)"
Oct. 5 to Nov. 5: Seattle Repertory Theatre's production of the
off-Broadway hit "Thom Pain (based on nothing)" continues this

quite something at the Rep.

Mercer St.; 206-443-2222; http://seattlerep.org.

Oct. 11: It is a good week for rock 'n' roll: take a trip back to

Tuesday.
