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.

Our guide was very knowledgeable, she passionately told us the history of the exhibits in the Vatican Museum. I would recommend skip the line ticket.

The issue I had was, having come across the leonardo museum in the Piazza de Popolo, I clicked on the link on Google Maps which allows you to buy tickets. Clicking on the Tourscanner link it had Headout as one of the option with what seemed to be very good prices. It bought the tickets but upon attending the exhibition entrance found that the tickets were for a different exhibition a fair distance away across the city. This may of course be an issue with Tourscanner rather than Headout but it was irritating nonetheless. Perhaps this is something you could take up with them.

Your Experience

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.
