Saturday, October 4

“Leonardo da Vinci: 500 Years of Genius” at the Phillip & Patricia Frost Museum of Science

You don’t have to visit the Louvre to experience the genius of Leonardo da Vinci. Starting Saturday, Frost Science’s “Leonardo da Vinci: 500 Years of Genius” will bring some of his best-known works — from the Last Supper to the Vitruvian Man — to life with rare artifacts, immersive digital galleries, interactive displays, and life-size models of the polymath’s inventions. From anatomy studies to flying machines, this marriage of art and science shows just how far da Vinci’s imagination reached and why his ideas still shape the way we see the world today. 10 a.m. at the Phillip & Patricia Frost Museum of Science, 1101 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305-434-9600; frostscience.org. Museum admission costs $29.95.

Take your four-legged bestie out for a tail-wagging play date this Saturday with Paws at the Underline.

Picolinis Rescue will be on hand to help you find your perfect match. 11 a.m. at the Underline, SW First Ave. and Eighth St., Miami; 305-603-9895; theunderline.org.

Steve Martin and Martin Short at Hard Rock Live

Steve Martin and Martin Short were originally scheduled to perform at Hard Rock Live back in January, but the devastating California wildfires postponed the joint show. Nine months later, the dynamic duo is back with the Dukes of Funnytown!, a show that’s part roast and part variety act, blending witty banter and maybe, just maybe, even some banjo tunes. Whether you’re a fan of Only Murders in the Building or go way back to the Three Amigos days, you won’t want to miss seeing two living legends for the price of one. 8 p.m. at Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Wy., Hollywood; 866-502-7529; casino.hardrock.com. Tickets cost $86 to $192 via ticketmaster.com.
