Museo Leonardo Da Vinci

About

The Museo Leonardo da Vinci in Florence offers an engaging journey into the mind of the Renaissance’s greatest inventor. Designed as an interactive space rather than a traditional gallery, it brings Leonardo’s engineering sketches to life through full‑scale machines built from his original drawings. Visitors can explore working models of flying devices, hydraulic systems, mechanical innovations and war machines, each revealing the extraordinary imagination that shaped modern science. Multimedia stations, anatomical studies and detailed reproductions of his codices help illuminate Leonardo’s method of observing, experimenting and refining ideas. Though not a collection of original artworks, the museum provides an accessible and hands‑on introduction to his genius, making it especially appealing for families, students and anyone curious about the practical side of Renaissance creativity.
