Overall rating

based on 1,056 reviews

Such an interesting museum. But make sure not to spend all of your time in all other sectors and get tired until you reach Leonardo's section. It takes minimum of 2 hours.

Enjoyed the Museum, wished that there had been a better self guided of the exhibits, it would have made it easier to navigate these we really interested in seeing.

I recommend 100%. We booked our tickets a day before the trip and the prices were really good.

It is really worth it. The museum is huge and there is a lot of different themes to be seen.

Great fun and even some interactive activities to do.
