Leonardo is one of the greatest examples of the union between humanism and science.

The original nucleus of this museum was our ample collection of models of his machines, which were reconstructed from his drawings.
Ever since the Museum was founded in 1953, it has provided a fundamental starting point for exploring the complex relationship between humanity and machines.

The Cantiere Leonardo (“Leonardo Workshop”) embodies an aspiration and a duty: to tell the story of a man whose profound ability to observe nature and people allowed him to pursue his ambition of putting together a vast encyclopaedia of universal knowledge.
