Leonardo da Vinci Museum entry ticket
Entry to a small interactive museum of Leonardo da Vinci’s working scale-model inventions, near the Duomo.
Valid 1 dayFrom €8
The experience
Working scale models of Leonardo’s inventions, built from his own notebook sketches.
An entry ticket to a small interactive museum a short walk from the Duomo, displaying dozens of wooden scale models of Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions — flying machines, war machines, hydraulic devices — reconstructed from his original notebook drawings and, in many cases, built to be touched and operated.
Explanatory panels beside each model set the invention against the sketch that inspired it, making the museum a compact, hands-on companion to Florence’s larger Renaissance-art collections.
