During your 1.5-hour tour you'll discover the importance of Leonardo as a scientist, researcher, engineer, naturalist, artist, and philosopher. From the many drawings Leonardo produced, dozens of fantastic scale models have been constructed and are shown at this museum. These models include an armored war carriage, a printing press, a fascinating flying ship, and many others.
Reconstructions of city environments in the Renaissance, accompanied by vocal comments and music, will inform you about some events of Leonardo's private life, as well as interesting aspects about the social life of his time. Other sections are dedicated to topics ranging from the dream of flight, studies about the canal system in Milan, and war machines and architecture.
Towards the end of your experience, admire a gallery of 16th-century paintings created by Italian artists and influenced by the innovations introduced by the “master”. Among these paintings sits a surprising 17th-century copy of the Last Supper.
