About Leonardo da Vinci Museum
Florence
The Leonardo da Vinci Museum offers a captivating and immersive experience that celebrates the extraordinary genius of one of the Renaissance’s most iconic figures. Conveniently located just a few minutes from the Duomo, the museum invites visitors of all ages to step into Leonardo’s world and explore the incredible breadth of his creativity—not just as an artist, but as an engineer, scientist, and visionary inventor. Inside, you’ll find more than 50 meticulously crafted, full-scale models based on Leonardo’s original drawings, many of which have been built using the materials and techniques of his time. Unlike traditional exhibits, these machines are interactive, allowing you to touch, explore, and operate many of them. You can test out a working version of his paddle boat, examine his mechanical wings, and even try out the gears and pulleys from his early robotics experiments. In addition to the machines, the museum includes multimedia displays, reproductions of his notebooks, and a small art gallery that delves into his anatomical studies and painting techniques. It’s a space designed to inspire curiosity and wonder, particularly for families and younger visitors, who often find the hands-on approach especially engaging. The museum is open every day from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last admission at 5:00 PM.
