This unique San Francisco landmark uses technology and ideas based on Leonardo da Vinci's design from the 15th century to recreate images. The building is the size of a large room, and essentially acts as a giant camera reflecting images from the nearby seal rock area on the coast onto a screen inside the room using a combination of mirrors and lenses. The structure, which in fact resembles a giant camera, is located at Point Lobos near the famous Cliff House and was built in 1946 as part of the World Famous Playland at the Beach, which no longer exists. When the facility is open, depending on weather conditions, the room serves as an interesting learning experience, and is one of very few of its kind and size.
