The area
Address
Neighborhood: San Polo
The Rialto Bridge is the most famous sight along the Grand Canal in San Polo, smallest of Venice's six sestieri (districts) and by far the busiest neighborhood. Morning Venetians arrive to peruse the markets for fish, fruit and vegetables, while shops display goods from cheese to wine to desserts. San Silvestro and Rialto Market vaporetto (water taxi) stops add to the steady stream of foot traffic. San Polo is defined by churches including Basilica dei Frari, one of the most important churches sought by art lovers.

This is not a Museum as it doe snot show any original work from Leonardo da Vinci. It is a small exhibition with replicas of his painting and drawings, and with some small scale wooden machines he drawn. The explications are pretty good and you can learn a lot about Leonardo. Still a ticket at 8e is an exagerated price for such a small and short exhibition.

Dear visitor, thank you for your review.
Our choice in the definition derives from the meaning as the dictionary of the word MUSEUM: a place where objects of historical, scientific and artistic interest are collected and preserved in a systematic and organized way for documentary, educational and conservation purposes.

I was expecting to come into a museum that held da Vinci's works but all it was, was his work printed on copy paper and they talk about it. Upstairs showed his inventions which was better because you would actually mess around with them. But it's super small and a complete disappointment. I spent maybe 20 mins in there.

Dear visitor, thank you for your review.
I just wanted to point out that what she devinisce "...work printed on copy paper..." actually is the material of the historical collection of the Royal Vincian Commission (owned by the museum itself)made between 1920 and 1940 under the guidance of the most illustrious Italian art historian, Professor Adolfo Venturi.

This morning, we visited the Leonardo da Vinci museum. It was wonderful and interesting. The museum had many exhibits, facts, information, paintings, translated manuscripts, diagrams and a VR experience! We also purchased an audio guide for 1€. We enjoyed the visit as it was a spectacular experience bringing his works to life. I would definitely recommend this to children and adults alike. It was really educational and we enjoyed the hands on experience of Leonardo‘s inventions. This was a brilliant hidden gem!

I really liked this exhibit and am not going to quibble over whether or not this is a true museum. This is the first time in my life I've seen so many of da Vinci's inventions as 3D models in varying scales (some full size). I also enjoyed the narratives found around the exhibit. I thought I knew almost everything about da Vinci until this visit when I saw and read things (almost all of the written descriptions were in English) for the very first time. Some of the exhibits are hands-on so you can have a greater appreciation for the genius behind the invention. The fact that the exhibit was in a beautiful former church didn't hurt, either.
Travel tip: We stumbled across the exhibit walking to some other destination from our hotel. While I loved it, and think it was very well done, I'm not sure I can advise going out of one's way to visit here unless you have free time in Venice.
Thanks for reading. I’ll appreciate a thumbs up below if you’ve found this helpful.

A fantastic museum to visit and I would say a MUST for everyone who likes art and science. It is created on a scale that is explained to children and adults alike. Many inter-active panels touch to e.g. compares several paintings by well-known artists on the "Announcement" of the birth of Christ by the angel to the Virgin Mary. Really fascinating. Also there are videos of the inventions of Leonardo explained in several languages. The first floor has wonderful models in wood of certain of Leonardo's inventions. You can manipulate handles to make them work, or build a bridge or cupola - not as easy as it looks! My granddaughters of 10 and 12 yrs loved being there and we spent a long time looking round. Bravo to the persons who designed this exhibition as it is really brilliant.

Actually i don t think that venice should need such a museum...i think that da vinci is "florence" or "tuscany". In venice there were so many others painters or architects to start to know...

Dear Leonty77 thank you for your opinion. We think that Leonardo da Vinci is an important personality all over the world. Not everyone goes in Florence, Tuscany and Venice in the same trip so we wanted to give the opportunity to as many as possible to get to know Leonardo's life and genius through his art works, studies and inventions.

A great little find, the museum is quite small, and it does consist of replicas, but the information is great, there is a video presentation, as well as an analysis of each item stating where the original is held if applicable. The interactive devices are a delight and the genius is evident. Great for a true fan! I only wish there were more to see.

Standard price is 8 euros. 4 small rooms with no original works, just replicas. Even if you read and interact with every item it takes a max of 15 minutes. Might be worth it for 1-2 euros but 8 is a ridiculous rip off. Avoid.

Thank you for your review. Leonardo da Vinci Museum is a didactic museum, that presents the artist's life across all of his works. The main activity is represented by the machines that Leonardo da Vinci projected. Unfortunatly, for different reasons, he had the chance to build only a few of them , so our engineers did it. Inside we have more that 50 machines that you could have tried and touched , every machine has a signboard with explanations in six languages. Usually the visit takes 45-50 minutes, now you need more because we also have the VR experience and the sketches from Royal Da Vinci's Commission.

I think it's permanent. Give yourself ample time to see all the exhibits. He was ahead of his time, imagine his mind coupled with today's technology !!
