As someone that likes science, history and technology, I really enjoyed my visit to this museum. I was amazed by the creativity and genius of Leonardo, creating incredible machines that weren't even in most of people imagination in that time! The museum is fully in Italian, although you have the interactive screen that you can set in English and French, and there's also an audio guide in many languages, for an extra fee. You'll have access to digital restorations of some of Leonardo's paintings, recreations and reconstructions of many of his inventions, many supposedly unknown until some time ago. Many of his codex were fully digitalized, so you'll be able to also take a look at them. The museum offers some interactive tools for kids (and not too kids), like Leonardo's inventions assembly game, and a few other things, some sort of building block, to recreate a few of his inventions. I went there early and there was few people, consider it since it is a small place and big crowds can make it a lot less enjoyable.

I have visited several interactive museums, but this was probably the best by far. It not only presents the pieces physically, but also offers interactive screens where you can study in more detail, disassembling and assembling the pieces of the reconstructions, but also DaVinci's own descriptions, extracted directly from the respective codices, which are explained with a simple language to put them within reach of most. The ticket price is €15. Also, they offer an audio guide in €5, which is available in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Unfortunately, my experience was interrupted, because they were scheduled another event in the same place during visiting hours (normally, from 9:00 to 21:00) and asked everyone to leave the place at 18:00 (3 hours before normal schedule), therefore, I was not able to explore and enjoy other rooms, which I found disrespectful and is the reason why I don't give 5 stars to this review.

I have visited this museum on the spot, and was very excited for it. The insight and information is very nicely collected but sadly it was quite underwhelming for its concept and price. I have done a Leonardo da Vinci workshop in Istanbul years ago with a more fair price and expressive environment and knowledge. There were very nice and interactive stuff you can do in the museum by yourself or with a partner that also gets you to socialize which was very nice. There was a VR set up for the Last Supper painting which could be an amazing experience but in the practice it was not up to any expectations; it was laggy and the images were not clear at all. Other digital interactive works were quite nice to play around but I think it needs rework to be as attractive. You can get a audio guide throughout the whole museum but if you decide not to get one I am sorry but you might end up getting less information if you do not understand Italian. The Italian information was a lot more than the English translation that it was quite surprising, because it seemed like they translated two paragraphs into two sentences.

I hadn’t initially planned to visit the Leonardo da Vinci Museum, but I stumbled upon it by chance while walking out of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. And I'm glad I did! This museum offers a fascinating insight into Leonardo da Vinci, not just as an artist but as a multifaceted genius—highlighting his work as a technician and inventor. The exhibits are detailed, showcasing models and reconstructions of his inventions, and they provide a deep understanding of his innovative mind. Descriptions are bilingual and they qre well-written and thorough, making the experience accessible and informative for a wide audience. One of the highlights for me was the interactive screens throughout the museum The entry price is reasonable, especially considering the wealth of knowledge and the quality of the exhibits. Overall, I highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in learning about the many talents of Leonardo da Vinci beyond his famous artworks.

This museum is mostly dedicated to the machines designed by Leonardo, whether they were practical or not. There's also an exhibit for the painting of "The Last Supper" as well as other engineering achievements of the great Italian genius. Virtually all the labels are in Italian only. If you want English, you'll either have to buy an audio guide or read on of the interactive displays. I paid for the audio guide because the latter would've been inconvenient. The interactive displays are for multiple exhibits which means a lot of interruptions to reading and looking at exhibits. Overall, I found the exhibits and audio guide excellent. Quite simply it's fascinating looking into the creative mind of this quintessential Renaissance man. I've dinged a star because the audio guide should be part of the entrance fee in my humble opinion.

On a day trip to Milan we came across this exhibition and decided to pay a visit. We weren't disappointed and glad we went. Prices are reasonable to enter and if you want an audio guide it is an extra 5 euros. Please be aware the explanation of each exhibit is on Italian but on the interactive screens you can view these in English. There is a great hands on exhibition in one of the halls where you can have a go and building some of the models Leonardo de Vinci invented. Overall I would allow 1 hour for your visit - longer if you want to spend more time building! To enter you need to queue up downstairs and enter via a lift to then purchase your tickets - waiting was less than 10mins. I learnt ao much about Leonardo de Vinci and didn't appreciate his full talents till I visited this exhibition. A must visit if you are in Milan!
