During our trip to Florence, we had the opportunity to visit a museum that showcases the designs of Leonardo da Vinci. This place offers visitors the chance to see many of Da Vinci's brilliant designs brought to life. We explored the museum as a family with our two children, and we generally enjoyed seeing these historical designs in their real-life forms. However, if you're short on time in Florence and have to choose between this museum and Michelangelo's museum, I would recommend visiting Michelangelo's museum, particularly to see the Statue of David. The David statue is truly an impressive work of art and a must-see in Florence. On the other hand, if you have time and a special interest in Da Vinci's work, this museum is also worth a visit. Lastly, there are areas inside where children can play and spend some enjoyable time, so I believe you'll have a pleasant experience. I think the museum entrance fee could be more reasonable...

If you have limited time in Florence do not bother with this Museum. It’s not because it’s bad. It’s just all the other things in Florence are on a different level. However, if you have time and you have young kids then the Da Vinci museum is something you can put on your itinerary to kill an hour or so. All lot of people get surprised when they enter as it looks like some kind of tourist trap for cheap souvenirs but when you go further in you see a lot of cool things on display. There is quite of lot of displays you can play with and it’s on 3 floors. If I were to compare this to the other things you can see in Florence then it’s a 3/5 but for what it is which is a simple museum dedicated to Da Vinci it’s pretty good.

1. First of all - be careful: there are two museums Da Vinci in the same area. Choose the right one for you (if you can understand the difference, I couldn’t). 2. Don’t book your tickets online: I paid 10.4 eur per ticket online although the price at the place was 8 euros. There is no line, so come and pay right there. 3. I had a very unpleasant situation with this museum: I bought my tickets online, paid 20.8 euros. Then I saw that there were two museums in the same street area, it was a real confusion: similar expositions, similar sites, similar reviews. I decided to cancel my booking and to come directly to the place to see. I received a confirmation of cancellation with note that no reimbursement would be done, because the cancellation was made less than 24 hours before the visit. So I’ve just lost 20.8 euros. The next morning we came to the museum with my daughter. I clearly explained the situation to the guy at the desk. I asked if we could enter anyway. He confirmed and gave me paper tickets (the price on them was 8 eur). We started our visit. In 10 minutes the guy found me and told me that he discovered that our reservation was cancelled (🤦🏽♀️ was not that what I told him initially?) and that I need to pay 16 euros for the new tickets because I would get reimbursement. I explained again that there would not be any reimbursement and showed him the email that I got. It meant that the museum would get the cost of anulated tickets anyway with the deduction of payment system commission. The guy said that we should go to his colleagues. Ok, we returned to the desk. This time there were two girls to whom I re-explained the situation. They told me that I needed to pay anyway because they gave me the new tickets. Then I said no, gave them back the tickets and we left the museum. That was a very nice customer-friendly approach ! Bravo, guys! 4. I confirm that at the enter they give you a card with QR code that you can use to write a review. 5. During 10 minutes of our visit I came to the conclusion that the museum was OK, but not 8 euros and definitely not for 10.4 that I paid online per ticket. If I could visit it appropriately I would have given 3 stars, not more.

I was kind on the fence about this museum since some reviewers claimed it was small. Took the chance and discovered that if you just stop and savor every exhibit it is a very interesting experience. It is amazing how this one person (Leonardo) came up with so many creations. Granted some were already in effect at the time but he put a new twist on the basic ideas. Adults can be impressed by the technical achievement and children can enjoy the area with the hands on making a lot of noise which children will definitely enjoy. There was no as much pressure as other museums and attractions in Florence. I personally enjoyed the display, it was very well done. And yes, every museum ends in the gift shop.

I had a fun time at Museo Leonardo Da Vinci. This museum contained so many replica recreations of Da Vinci’s inventions. A lot of the replicas were hands-on and allowed to be tried out by the public. There was so much information on each of the inventions and about Da Vinci himself. It is truly amazing how much he was able to accomplish in his lifetime. I must say that my expectations were a bit higher because I thought a Da Vinci museum would have some actual artifacts from DaVinci himself. The museum seems like it is more geared toward children, but it was still very fun and informative nonetheless. I give the Museo Leonardo Da Vinci my recommendation.

The Leonardo da Vinci Museum of Science and Technology in Milan feels like a journey through time for a traveler. As you step into its vast halls, you're immediately drawn into the world of the Renaissance genius, Leonardo da Vinci. The museum showcases models of machines inspired by his sketches, offering a glimpse into his extraordinary mind. Visitors have the chance to deeply explore how da Vinci masterfully blended art and science while also understanding his role in the evolution of modern technology. The interactive exhibits captivate both children and adults, making every step a new discovery that leaves you in awe.
