Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia "Leonardo da Vinci"
Best time to visit
Weekday mornings right at opening to avoid school groups and long lines; late afternoons and weekends get noticeably busier. Spring and autumn are ideal if you want to combine the outdoor railway exhibits with mild weather.
Budget tips
Standard adult tickets are typically €10–€15, with discounts for students and seniors and free entry often for very young children; buy timed-entry online to skip the ticket line and look for combined permanent-plus-temporary exhibition tickets to save. Check Milan tourist cards for occasional discounts and verify prices on the official museum website before you go.

About
Schnelle Fakten: Stepping into the galleries feels like wandering through a giant workshop, where gleaming steam engines sit beside scale flying-machine models and interactive stations invite you to pull levers and set mechanisms in motion. Surprising stat: the collection holds over 15,000 objects across transport, energy and communication, and you can inspect full-scale replicas of a master inventor's machines alongside original industrial equipment.
Highlights: You can clamber into the Enrico Toti submarine, the air thick with oil and cold metal, and peer through a periscope that frames the courtyard like a circular movie screen. Since 1953 the main halls have housed a hands-on workshop of more than 60 reconstructed machines from Renaissance engineering notebooks, where wooden gears creak under your fingers and a large wing model lets you feel how air catches on a scaled frame.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, galleries are large and involve a lot of walking and stairs.
- Head to the Leonardo machines and the aviation hangar first to see signature exhibits before crowds arrive.
- Aim for the central aircraft and steam locomotive halls for the best photo opportunities, especially under the morning light.
- Check schedules for the Submarine and planetarium, they sometimes require separate timed tickets or have limited capacity.
