In Vinci, a short distance from where the famous inventor Leonardo was born, there's the main exhibit that collects his models and machines. More than 300 works and objects are on display including documents and sketches which demonstrate the modernity of his ideas. 

The Museum adopts an interdisciplinary approach and combines elements from Leonardo’s life with examples of his work, that's why it is very appropriate for children, too.

The collection includes works and documentary researches about Leonardo as an artist, scientist, inventor and designer, together with ancient original paintings from Leonardo’s workshop such as the Madonna delle Minime and the Magdalene. There are more than 50 models carefully reconstructed according to Leonardo’s projects and winches designed by Brunelleschi for the Dome of Florence construction. You can also see his famous flying machines and even some military constructions like a steam cannon, very innovative at that time.
