Museo della Scienza e della Tecnologia "Leonardo da Vinci", Science and technology museum in Milan, Italy
The Museo della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci is a science and technology museum in Milan, Italy, housed in a former monastery. Its departments cover materials, transport, energy, communication, and the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci.
The museum opened in February 1953 within the former San Vittore al Corpo monastery, inaugurated by Prime Minister Alcide De Gasperi. The choice of location repurposed the existing structures of a historic building.
The name honors Leonardo da Vinci, whose technical drawings inspire working models that demonstrate the evolution of his ideas. Visitors can trace how his sketches were translated into mechanical devices.
The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 09:30 to 17:30, with extended hours until 18:30 on weekends and public holidays. The site covers several sections, so planning enough time is worthwhile.
The museum displays the Enrico Toti submarine and preserves the only publicly accessible Moon rock in Italy. Both items attract visitors seeking rare objects from space exploration and military history.
