Small museum but worth the visit if you have time to spare. Some exhibits interactive, audiovisual room excellent but one audiovisual room disappointingly out of order. Unfortunately, carpeted floor created very unpleasant smell due to humidity. Still, if you're a da Vinci fan it's a short, interesting visit.

I thought the museum was nice. I thought the price was a little high for what was presented, but display were really good some really good information and a lot of reproductions of some of his designs.

Spend your time elsewhere. Waste of time and money. Staff was very friendly, but the exhibition was very sub par. I don’t think with the cost and time at all.

great museum staff was very friendly and helpful. get the audio guide. lots of ghod models, and exposition. I will do it again.

Interesting experience mostly for the kids who had the opportunity to come close to some of the Da Vinci phenomenon's most known inventions and paintings. Very friendly staff, interesting gift shop.

Museum of Leonardo Da Vinci, located at the lower level of the Chiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo, was especially interesting to me after reading Walter Isaacson’s book “Leonardo da Vinci”. To tell you the truth, I am a bit technologically challenged, so seeing how Leonardo’s inventions actually work was more intuitive for me than just reading about them. After visiting this wonderful museum, I have become even more convinced that, after so many centuries, the genius of Leonardo is still unsurpassed…His brilliant mind was constantly observing, creating, improvising and frequently struggling… it is so fascinating to see the results of his vision, both in science and in art. He was a true Renaissance man and a visionary - his “resume” is on display in the museum and it tells us volumes about him.

The hands-on engineering models illustrate da Vinci's imagination and genius - lots of kids of all ages were enjoying trying them out during our visit. Well laid-out and informative exhibition.

We planned our visit, but the website didn't give a great idea of what to expect. I was worried it would mainly be drawings and text, but many of the inventions were built in full scale, so you could see them better and some you could even operate yourself. My 10 yo son really liked the hands on part. Unfortunately the hands on part was followed by an area where you weren't allowed to touch the exhibits, so this created some confusion. It didn't take long to walk the whole museum, I believe we were less than an hour to see it all and hear the audio guide that went with it. The museum is in a basement, so it was nice and cool compared to the heat of the streets.

Regretted not going to the Florence one but this was so lame - small underground basement didn’t like it

Skip this museum which contains many wooden models of Leonardo’s inventions and drawings. Despite being labeled “hands on”, most of the models are labelled “do not touch.” It was a pretty boring display.

I didn't expected like the museum., I went there because outside was lashing rain.But I'm glad I did.I'ts not big museum but it's well put together.My favourite was the room where you can sit down and learn the all the genius he was., his quotes and his achievements through the life.And also exhibition with most his inventions.Learning how much one person can make inpact even 500 years later.Incredible. Some people would say it's pricey., but they cleary not been in Borghese museum., I have both experience in one day but this one was way more worth it.

This was a facinating exhibition and it showed the genius of Leaonardo da Vinci. Recreated examples of the machinery and workings and the chance to see how they operate. If you have time to spare - the video is very interesting - but be warned - it is quite a long one!

What an experience this place is. I didn’t know much about da Vinci before I went and learnt so much about what he invented and his life. Definitely worth a visit.

I was on a trip to Italy with my God-daughter and as we were walking back to out hotel from Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo we paused in the piazza del Popolo. As we began our walk again we noticed the da Vinci museum and mutually decided to go and check it out. I had read a little bit about it prior to our trip, and so I knew that it was tiny and contained no original paintings. Leonardo da Vinci, however, was so much more that just a painter and this museum is proof of that. With limited space and display, this museum manages to be, and show to the public, how incredibly cerebral this man was. There are many hands on displays to touch or play with, allowing the patrons to fully grasp the concepts of da Vinci's brilliance. I have read other reviews of this museum on this site and am shocked by the expectation and ignorance of the people who wrote those reviews. My God-daughter and I had the Roma pass and therefore the entrance fee was slightly discounted. I think the non discount price is only 12.00 euros. That's a deal!

Wonderful museum and good for kids of all ages. Not a place to view original art works etc but a museum dedicated to a clever and ahead of its time man. Learnt a lot about Da Vinci and his works. Doesn’t take long to get around as it is only small but well worth a visit. Some hands on exhibits and other like videos and models. All you need is in English and Italian so no need to get a audio guide. Go there.
