Национальный музей науки и технологий Леонардо да Винчи

The museum, located in the former Olivet Monastery, illustrates the history of science and technology from the work of early scientists to the present day. Of particular interest is the Leonardo da Vinci Gallery with working models of many of his inventions and mechanisms based on da Vinci's drawings. The physical exhibits include instruments used by Galileo, Newton, and Volta, as well as sections related to optics, acoustics, telegraphy, transportation, shipping, railways, flights, metallurgy, automobiles, timekeeping, and wood. In total, more than 15,000 technical and scientific objects represent the history of Italian science, technology and industry.
