Thanks to the Headout app I was able to book my tickets for the DaVinci museum in Rome and see the models of his inventions and touch them and see how they actually worked.

We had a wonderful time at the museum dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci. We were able to pick up our tickets easily on-site thanks to a pre-registered list, which was very convenient. The venue is beautiful, well-explained, and especially engaging for children thanks to the models they can interact with. The explanations available in French are also very helpful and make the visit accessible. It’s also the least crowded place we’ve visited in Rome, which allows you to fully enjoy the exhibition. One small downside: the “gift” advertised as a freebie is a postcard, which isn’t very suitable for children.

My kid love the place. Love the inventions.

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.
