My father 71 years young, with a mechanical engineer's mind, was so impressed that he exclaimed, "It made my day! What a genius of a man, Leonardo da Vinci was! " Thank you for this exceptional visit! Audio guide which was not included is a must!

    You have to see it, it is very beautiful and interactive. It is not the same da Vinci museum that is in the piaza dil Poppolo.

  • 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

    • The Palazzo della Cancelleria is owned by the Vatican and the building is a point of interest due to its architecture. The upper floor hosts the Sacra Rota where the church dissolves marriages. You can also find the tomb of the architect Auro Irzio, dating back to 43 BC, immersed in an underground natural pond.
