Description

Exploring the thoughts of the brilliant overachiever da Vinci in this captivating place is truly captivating, while also discovering the latest in technology.

The true Renaissance man Leonardo da Vinci had many talents and interests, which is not just because he lived during the time of the Italian Renaissance.

His curiosity extended from exploring nature and anatomy to engaging in military and hydraulic engineering. Besides being a well-known artist, he is frequently acknowledged for his creations like the parachute, helicopter, and tank. His multitude of sketches, created over the course of his life and career as both a painter and engineer, document his discoveries and innovations.

The Leonardo da Vinci Museum of Science and Technology in Milan is a wonderful homage: vast in size and packed with experiments covering a range of topics from energy to communication. Its breadth appears to mirror the inquisitive nature of the renowned figure.

Every one of the seven departments looks into and investigates the subjects of their collection, while also developing exhibitions and educational programs.

Explore the wonders of engineering, such as vintage steam locomotives, pioneering aircraft, and a variety of famous maritime vessels, such as the brigantine schooner, Ebe, and the Conte Biancamano Ocean Liner.

Within the space section, you can marvel at a genuine piece of moon rock and the Vega space launch vehicle. Don't miss out on the Fragility and Beauty display, where you can explore some of the most isolated and picturesque locations on Earth with breathtaking satellite images.

Children, specifically, adore the captivating interactivity, while in fact the entire family will discover time passing quickly, just as da Vinci envisioned with his 'ornithopter'.

Arrive with curiosity and depart with engagement and knowledge (and even more curiosity).

It's easy to get engrossed in the museum that you might wind up spending an entire day here. While there is no café on site, bringing your own lunch and snacks allows you to steer clear of resorting to the vending machines for lunch. Meanwhile, you can witness your child's eyes light up with amazement throughout the day.
