Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia "Leonardo da Vinci"

Description:

• The heart and soul of this engaging museum are the working scale models of Leonardo's submarines, airplanes, and other engineering feats that, for the most part, the master only ever invented on paper (each exhibit includes a reproduction of his drawings and a model of his creations). This former Benedictine monastery and its beautiful cloisters are also filled with planes, trains, carriages, sewing machines, typewriters, optical devices, and other exhibits, including some enchanting re-creations of workshops, all of which makes up one of the world's leading mechanical and scientific collections.
