The Leonardo

The Leonardo is a science and technology museum in Salt Lake City housed in a historic building with multiple levels of interactive exhibits. The displays encourage visitors to engage directly with concepts from engineering, digital arts, and natural sciences through hands-on activities and demonstrations.

The museum opened in 2011 inside a former public library building that had served the city for decades. This conversion transformed the space from a repository of books into a center for hands-on scientific exploration.

Each exhibition at The Leonardo focuses on different aspects of human innovation, including engineering, digital arts, and natural sciences through experimental learning.

The museum sits in the city center near a TRAX light rail station just across from the entrance, making it easy to reach by public transport. Plan to spend several hours exploring the different levels and interactive displays at your own pace.

The institution partners with research centers and universities to develop exhibits that reveal how scientific principles work in real situations beyond the museum. These collaborations mean visitors encounter ideas that are actively being studied and used in the wider world.
