Some fascinating exhibits and a great wing devoted to Leonardo Da Vinci. However, the layout of the museum was confusing, with lots of dead ends and no clear flow. No maps available, either to carry or on any of the walls. Did have a breakdown of what was on each floor.Explanations of exhibits was in Italian and English language, but the type size was tiny, which meant people were crowding around to get close enough to read. Frustrating. Poorly marked entrance, no indicators on cross streets of where entrance was. Confusing exit which involved * going through several external buildings and brought you out on a different street of the block. Lots of tables in the basement as if there was a coffee shop, but only saw a vending machine. Kiosk in garden which had a small selection of drinks.stopped working at 1500. Beautiful building which was totally misused as a public display area.

The story of Leonardo's designs is very well presented and informative. Some of the presentations were a bit long winded, but very cleverly shown. Lovely to see copies of his original drawings. Some nice old trains and aeroplanes too. A cafe would have been nice as you need at least 2 hours to see it all. As usual for Italy good value for money.

You could easily spend a day here and only just scratch the surface. It’s packed with fascinating exhibits, well-explained, including in English, and whether your thing is space, industry, communications, the sea or the air, there’s something for you. Don’t miss it, but give yourself plenty of time to do it justice.

We only had one day in our schedule to tour Milan and decided to visit this museum. We took the recommended route which starts off with a lot of history around steel forging and manufacturing and we had just got to the Leonardo section when there was a power cut (many of the interactive exhibits are in need of electricity) We waited on a sofa area for around 20 minutes hoping the power would come back and eventually someone helpful who worked there suggested we visit the air and rail areas with natural light, but then that’s where the help stopped when we were fairly aggressively told to leave the building. We grabbed a coffee and lunch at the wonderfully welcoming Elegant Coffee over the road from the museum exit (I recommend!) We then tried to head back into the museum and were again fairly aggressively pointed at and told to leave (we don’t speak Italian so had to read body language). So we walked around to the entrance where by this point the power was back on, but they wouldn’t let anyone else in as they weren’t sure how long it would take to get the museum ready. (Which given they open most mornings you’d anticipate they might have a rough idea how long it would take) We weren’t offered a refund or an apology, just as a group of confused people waiting told we could come back tomorrow- no good as most people weren’t able to do so. If we’d have known we would have gone straight to the exhibits we were interested in and we were disappointed as the museum looks great and we’d have easily been there another few hours. I appreciate you can’t plan for power cuts, but a bit of communication and apologies would have helped. This is why I have rated 3 out of 5 as if there was better customer service it would be a solid 4.5 or even 5.

A great museum, definitely worth the visit. The exhibit showcases many different aspects of science and technology, from mining and electricity to space travel and Da Vinci's inventions. We spent more than three hours and did not manage to see all the exhibits properly. The museum layout and visiting plan are somewhat confusing and illogical. At the end of the suggested route, you have to exit the museum, and walk around the block to get back to the entrance where the lockers with your stuff are. On the day we have visited there was heavy rain, so we had to walk in the rain and cold to get back to our stuff (this rout was the only possible). Nevertheless, it is an amazing place for technology enthusiasts and engineers.

Lovely museum to visit on my trip to Milan. I booked my ticket through the museums official website and had a mobile ticket. I arrived an hour early and they let me straight in, no problems at all! The museum showcases the history of technology, industrial, space, science and much more. My favourite part was the Leonardo Da Vinci gallery on the top floor. Theres so much to see, I’d recommend a good hour and a half minimum to really take it all in and have a good look round. On each floor there’s access to the outside balconies if you need a few minutes with some fresh air. There are lots of activity areas which you can book online. Only go to this museum if any of the topics mentioned are of interest otherwise you may not enjoy it. The marking on the floor weren’t the easiest to follow however you can download a map of the museum on your phone through a QR code when you enter. I managed to get around ok. Toilets are clearly marked and there are lots of them. When you want to leave the exit is also clearly marked and you can enter the gift shop (there are also toilets here too) the gift shop has lots of good merchandise, especially for children. I enjoyed my slow walk around the museum!

Brilliant museum - excellent value for money, loads to see and some interactive exhibits. We didn't have enough time to see it all and one area (space) was closed during our visit, so will be returning in the spring to see some more. It is aimed more at school age children than very tiny kids but there is plenty for adults to see, read and learn about. There is lots of information to read as well as everything to look at. And the Da Vinci models and drawings are simply beautiful.

Brilliant museum with fascinating exhibits. The museum has an area completely dedicated to Leonardo Da Vinci’s life, inventions, science, notes, drawings, and croquis. Being a big of Leonardo Da Vinci since my teenage took this experience to another level. The energy around his books was unbelievable. I went there for Leonardo da Vinci’s exhibition mainly, and I was happy to discover the rest of the displays. It’s also a great value for money. An appropriate audio guide would’ve been a plus.

The museum feels huge - we spent about 2 hours there and could have spent much longer. Our six-year-old found several of the exhibits very engaging and enjoyed all of the interactivity. The forge and metalworks exhibits, plus the airplanes, boats, trains etc. were amazing in a city museum. The museum has several brochures in various languages aimed at different age groups, helping them explore. Ticket price is very reasonable, recommend to book online to avoid lines and know when a good time slot is, but we did not have to book days or weeks in advance. Gift shop is also nice!

The building is probably the best part. Fabulous architecture, very pretty. The exhibits downstairs are OK. The Da Vinci section on the first floor is really interesting. Worth a visit for a few hours.
