Museo Ideale Leonardo da Vinci, Research museum in Vinci, Italy
The Museo Ideale Leonardo da Vinci displays models constructed from Leonardo's drawings, exhibiting his work as an artist, scientist, inventor, and designer.
Inaugurated in 1993 with support from the University of California at Los Angeles and Raccolta Vinciana, the museum stands near a former mill operated by Leonardo's father.
