Summary
Description
Leonardo da Vinci was the epitome of a Renaissance man, excelling in painting, sculpting, inventing, architecture, science, writing, and mapmaking. Through this exhibition, his narrative is brought to life with digital reproductions of his paintings and operational models of his inventions.
Situated in the heart of the city (perfectly positioned between La Scala and il Duomo), the Leonardo3 is an intriguing destination to enjoy with your family. Alternatively, if you are alone, it is a captivating place to delve into your ideas (and lament that they are not as innovative, meticulous, or visionary as da Vinci's).
The interactive display, featuring numerous replicas of his own innovative inventions such as a submarine, rapid-fire crossbow, and mechanical dragonfly, offers a fantastic opportunity to uncover the inventive brilliance of the individual who influenced The da Vinci Code (for which you might feel thankful or irked).The exhibit is of a good size; therefore, you will have a lot to discover without feeling tired of the museum.Recently, along with digitally restoring The Last Supper, Leonardo3 received a significant enhancement through the introduction of an interactive new exhibit: La Dama con l’ermellino. This renowned portrait by da Vinci (hint hint Mona Lisa), provides visitors with various analytical perspectives and avenues of exploration.
Visit this museum to encounter an extraordinary intellect. Afterwards, purchase a sketchbook and start creating your own masterpiece.
