A hidden gem of a museum for all ages. Went for the Leonardo da Vinci part, but enjoyed the rest of it as well. Excellent place to take the kids on a hot afternoon
I came here to see the tall ship Ebe was. Not exactly straight forward to find. Go into the museum and down the corridor past a few rooms of sewing machines and a ‘men of food’ exhibit. Then go down some stairs, or take the lift, to level 0 and exit the museum. Across the pathway is a aircraft hanger looking building full of trains, go thorough that (or around if you like the sun) and across another pathway behind it is a tall building, the Air And Sea Transportation Pavilion. Here finally is the ship, in a purpose built dry dock at the centre of the pavilion. There’s space to walk all around the sides, unfortunately the two ramps onto the ship (just before the steps to the quarterdeck port and starboard) are blocked by gates with ‘no access’ signs. Asking staff there, they do not allow visitors on the ship. She is a beautiful ship to look at, and even from this level the ship is positioned low enough that her deck is about level with the floor, so you get a good view across the whole deck (only the higher quarterdeck isn’t fully visible). You can then walk up stairs (a very long, shallow slope with elongated steps that even I could manage) up to the second floor which sits around the same level as the mainsail yard. The yards on the mainmast are slightly angled so the mainsail yard does extend over the second floor on the starboard side with only rope barriers separating you and the yard. From the second floor you get amazing birds-eye views of the whole ship.
Very interesting, but also very long. Some great things to see and find out about, not just about Leonardo.
Great opportunity to see the most affordable version of The Last Supper. Great museum, if only the air conditioning worked. A little confusing to follow path. Wish there was more on Leonardo da Vinci; he definitely deserves his own museum.
Enjoy a visit to the Museo della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci. The entrance was easy because of the pre-booked tickets and I also got a chance to explore on my own. It was interesting to see the different wooden models made according to the design of Leonardo da Vinci. However, some of the exhibits seemed to me to be very static and informative.... Although written guides are helpful, the experience could be more enjoyable if there were more multimedia or interactive presentations. Good for those interested in history and technology, but may not be equally attractive to everyone.
An amazing place with lots of varied exhibits. For more extensive information on Leonardo da Vinci it is best to go to Leonardo3 Museum
There isn’t much to see. Limited displays for Michelangelo.
Well worth a visit, lots to see participle you have any interest in heavy industry Much more than just da Vinci
The National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most interesting museums I have visited. Engaging exhibits, numerous interactive areas, and a truly impressive collection dedicated to science, technology, and Leonardo da Vinci. Perfect for both adults and children, it manages to make the visit educational yet also super fun.
Nerded out for hours! A must visit!!the Leonardo di Vinci exhibit was so much more then we expected!!
