Highlights

Inventions

The museum features fully functional, life-sized mechanisms crafted from Leonardo's sketches.

Digitized paintings

High-resolution reproductions of his paintings allow you to see details that you might otherwise miss in art museums.

Other digitized works

Around 300 digitized drawings, including anatomical sketches and manuscripts, are on display in rotation.

Cool bookshop

The shop offers a wide selection of books for both children and adults, miniature models to build and other gadgets.

Why visit

Get hands-on with Leonardo's mechanical inventions and be inspired by his sophisticated genius.

Connect the Dots

Unusual handwriting

The manuscripts on display are handwritten backwards, from right to left, in what is called "mirror writing".

Since Leonardo wrote with his left hand, this was probably easier for him.
