DA Vinci Interaktives Museum Venedig Scuola di San Rocco

San Rocco Museum next to Da Vinci. We found countless paintings by Tintoretto with their play of light and shadows. We also went to San Rocco Church next to the Museum,

This museum wasn’t on our radar until a friend recommended it to us, and it was absolutely worth the visit. This small, two-story museum gave us a chance to interact with numerous engineering contraptions that da Vinci came up with. It highlighted his contributions to the understanding of human anatomy, and it gave us a short but effective overview of his legacy as a painter. Everything here was a replica of his work, which meant that we were actually allowed -- and encouraged -- to touch it (unless noted otherwise). The interactive nature of the experience gave us a deeper and more lasting feel for da Vinci's genius. For us, the experience was particularly valuable because our child had just learned about the Renaissance in school and knew a bit about da Vinci as an engineer and artist, and thanks to this visit, he gained greater depth on the subject, and he was excited to share back with his teacher and classmates. Aside from the contraptions and accompanying descriptions, we also enjoyed giving our legs a break from all the walking when we sat down to watch the couple of short movies about the life of da Vinci. I highly recommend spending 1 h / 1.5 h here. We bought our tickets at the entrance around 4:30 pm on a Sunday, and there weren’t many visitors then. For so much value concentrated in a small space and short time commitment, in addition to reasonable ticket prices, it would have been a shame to not pay this museum a visit.

We recently visited the Da Vinci Interactive Museum in Venice, and we enjoyed it immensely! It is a truly super interactive museum, perfect for both adults and kids. The wooden reproductions of Leonardo da Vinci's projects (like flying machines and various gears) are made excellently, and the best part is that everything can be operated manually through levers, truly understanding how his studies worked. The most fun and innovative part, however, was a new digital installation: a kind of interactive totem/mirror with a camera that scans the face in real-time and reprocesses it, blending it with the features of the genius from Vinci. The software applied Leonardo's classic gray beard, perfectly respecting the proportions of my girlfriend's face, creating an incredible hyper-realistic effect (and a lot of laughs!). We had a lot of fun. A fantastic and modern idea to update the visionary spirit of Da Vinci. Highly recommended if you are looking for a cultural stop that is dynamic and fun in Venice!

Small but nice interactive museum to see, discover, and interact with Leonardo's inventions! Great also for children. Average price

Very nice and fun interactive

We stumbled into this. It’s not so much a museum in the “artsy” sense as it is a practical hands-on demonstration of who he was. . Had an absolute blast. Adults will like it, kinds will love it.

I thought it was naff. Very loud because of all the kids using the models and we were cramped inside. The writing and info on the walls were long and innacessable and the information was dull. Didn’t think any of the drawings were original and seemed basic info. I went out quickly.

Really great experience with teenagers. This is a great addition to any Venice itinerary, especially for kids. The exhibits were almost all interactive with clear explanations. Really really well done.

Simply Incredible. Great interactive museum and superb explanations of the genius of the man. Spend the time and read the notes for the exhibits and use your smart phone to follow along

Really fun a few of the exhibitions were broken but the rest worked and it was really cool to be able to interact with them. Only complaint is that it could be bigger.
