    When we entered the museum, we did not have to wait in line. Lucy, the person in charge of the store in the hall, was very kind and attentive to us. When we went downstairs with an audio guide, we were able to listen in order to each course of Leonardo's great works and legacy. We were very grateful for the opportunity. I have no bad things or criticisms to add to our visit.

    I arrived two hours before closing time and there was hardly anyone there, which made my visit easier. The exhibition is very interesting, although I didn't use the audiovisual.

    The museum was quite small, but the big advantage was that you could see how the machine works just by moving them. Also holograms was nice and helped understand the concepts and ideas of Leonardo da Vinci.
  • If there's anywhere in the world you can explore the brilliance of Leonardo da Vinci, it has to be Rome, Italy. The Leonardo da Vinci Experience Museum brings to life the genius of one of the most extraordinary men the world has ever known. Da Vinci was an artist, an engineer, a sculptor, an architect, and an inventor rolled into one, after all.

    Even though he lived over 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was well ahead of his time. He designed flying machines, robots, submarines, and machines that work on solar energy. Admire some of these inventions that were built in line with his designs. These include digging and lifting equipment, the bicycle, the machine gun, and others. You can touch and play with almost all the machines on display, or build your version of a bridge that Da Vinci invented.

    Enter the Room of Mirrors and find out how da Vinci's study of light led to the invention of photography and projection. You will even get to see full-sized reproductions of The Last Supper, Mona Lisa, and Lady with an Ermine, some of the most iconic paintings in the world. Don't miss out on checking out the upper floor, home to the Vatican court: the Sacra Rota and the Sala dei Cento Giorni, frescoed by Vasari. You can also access the remains of a burial temple dating back to 43 BC, located in the same building.

  • Accessibility

    • The museum is wheelchair-accessible.

    Important Information
