Nice museum with interactive exhibits. Did think it was going to be a bit bigger with more on Leonardo's life; but it was more focused on his work. The hologram displays were especially good and would have liked to have seen more. Audio guide could have done with a pause button.

Interesting and fun exhibition, full of devices, many of which can be used by visitors, with clear and exhaustive didactic panels. There are also some lesser known curiosities. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable. The Palazzo della Cancelleria, a work of art in itself, can be reached by taking a walk through beautiful areas of Rome.

Well curated exhibition, not very large but, with the help of the audio guide, it is a pleasant experience. The possibility of touching and using some reproductions of Leonardo's inventions is priceless and leaves you speechless. Recommended to everyone, but, to appreciate its meaning, in my opinion recommended minimum age 11 years so as not to see the models transformed into toys ....
