Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia
The Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia stands in central Milan, inside the former monastery of San Vittore al Corpo. Its 50,000-square-metre setting combines historic cloisters with galleries devoted to science, technology, and Italian industry.
Opened in 1953, the museum traces developments from the nineteenth century to today through 19,000 historical objects. Communication, energy, transport, and materials organise collections that show how inventions shaped everyday life. Fourteen interactive laboratories let visitors explore scientific ideas through practical activities, following an informal approach to learning.
Leonardo da Vinci’s machine models form the world’s largest collection of its kind, including a revolving crane and a fast assault ship. Outside, the Enrico Toti submarine recalls Italy’s first post-war submarine and its Cold War service.
