The New Leonardo da Vinci Galleries

At the Leonardo Da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology

Automatically translated

Discover the world's largest permanent exhibition dedicated to Leonardo the engineer, humanist and investigator of nature.

A spectacular set design takes you on a journey that, starting in 15th-century Florence, traces Leonardo 's education and the contribution of Tuscan engineers to his stay in the Milan of the Sforzas. A journey through the art of war, labor and production, flight, waterways and architecture that concludes with a look at Leonardo's influence on Lombard Renaissance painting and an immersive installation dedicated to the drawings of his last years.

More than 1,300 square meters and 170 historical models, artworks, ancient volumes and installations bring to life the narrative through the evolution of Leonardo's thought in an immersive experience in the emotional, intellectual and physical dimensions.

The New Galleries renew the historic layout with which the Museum opened to the public in 1953 and represent a unique cultural resource to inspire new generations, the world of research, and enthusiasts of all ages.

The figure of Leonardo da Vinci is investigated within its historical context by relating his work as an engineer and humanist to the history of science, art, technology and thought of the Renaissance. The view is consistent with the most recent studies of Leonardo's historiography, emphasizing his curiosity and ability to observe and interpret nature along with his attention to the work of his contemporaries with whom he is in continuous dialogue.

Universal meanings such as the desire to know, the ability to observe, and cross-cutting thinking are a valuable legacy of Leonardo's working method to contemporary society.
