One of the most important museum of science and technology in the world, the Museo Nazionale Scienza e Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci is the largest technical-scientific museum in Italy. First opened in 1953, the site of this vast museum was actually the ancient monastery of San Vittore al Corpo. See the elegant 16th century cloisters and the fascinating drawings of car models and flying machines by Leonardo da Vinci. Cleverly organised into various departments: Materials, Transportation, Energy, Communication, Leonardo Arts & Science, Nutrition, Space and Science for Young People, there is bound to be something that will appeal to any type of visitors.

Education is a key purpose of the museum, making visitors the protagonist through active participation. Do not miss seeing a real submarine or climbing aboard an old steam train. Marvel at the grand replica of the ballroom of an ocean liner and gaze at the stunning celestial globe. This museum is certainly worth a visit while in Milan.
