Leonardo Interactive Museum — Build, Fly, Wonder
I once turned the handles on Leonardo wooden tank and suddenly felt transported back to the Renaissance. Want a moment like that? Grab a skip-the-line ticket below.
Skip-the-Line Entry (€7.90)Why You’ll Geek Out Here
This is no silent gallery. Levers yank, mirrors spin, bridges wobble—and suddenly Leonardo notebooks feel less “history textbook” and more “maker lab”.
Touch What He Dreamed
Life-size flying machines, a self-supporting bridge and the legendary wooden tank—all waiting for your hands.
Playful For All Ages
Kids chase reflections in the mirror room, while grown-ups get nerdy with gear ratios. Win-win.
