Leonardo da Vinci Science Museum Milano

When in 1953 Italy decided to create the most important Science and Technology Museum in the country, the choice of Milan as location was pretty obvious. Since the 1700s our city has been the cradle of Italian industrial revolution, seat of important industries, universities and research facilities, Milano always been at the forefront of technical revolutions and innovation in Italy.

The halls of Leonardo da Vinci Science Museum host items that describe the history of industry, science and technology in our country. From pioneering thermoelectric plants from the 1800s to a Milanese street car from 1928 (the “classic” street car you can still use in the streets of Milan!), from some of the best reconstruction of Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions to the Vega Launcher, a vector developed by the European Space Agency (ESA), from canals’ lock from the 1400s to a real submarine from the Italian Navy, the S506 Enrico Toti.

We can build many themed itineraries in the Leonardo da Vinci Science Museum. If you like space you can admire a fragment of moon rock from Apollo 17 mission to the Moon, the original suit worn by the Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti on the International Space Station (ISS).

If you want to understand why Leonardo da Vinci has been one of the most important inventors in history you can admire some of the finest reconstructions of his machineries rebuilt from the original drawings preserved in the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana Museum in Milano.

If you love steam engines, old steamers or you want to discover the only fighter built by the Italians during WW2 able to match Allied planes, you cannot miss the rail and sea-air transport pavilions.

The Leonardo da Vinci Science Museum is the perfect place to organize a corporate event for your business, from a guided tour to an event including aperitif/dinner with exclusive guided tours to the museum collections. Write us for info and costs.
