Leonardo da Vinci Experience Museum Entrada

Do not do this. You can buy the tickets from the location for the exact same thing and for less money. Also, it’s very small and boring and certainly not worth the cost.

Very interesting! Da Vinci invented or refined so many things we still use today - he was so much more than an artist. What talent and imagination! So much fun to see and try some of his work.

There are 3 locations in Rome that are all called Leonardo da Vinci experience - choose wisely! The trip advisor reviews seem to be all mixed up and it’s not clear which is which, so do extra research. (We went to the one by the Vatican (Via della Conciliazione) by mistake as we didn’t realise that we actually wanted to go to the cheaper, and apparently better one, at Palazzo della Cancelleria.) There is a pleasant shop entrance and the lady that served us was very nice and talked us through the audio guide. To go into the “experience” cost us €34 for 2 adults, a 10 year old, and a 4 year old, we felt this was a bit expensive for what we got. Once inside there is effectively one room upstairs with a couple of exhibits and a print of the last supper, then downstairs is a route through 3 rooms. Two have mock up inventions, the third has copies of paintings. There wasn’t any other guests when we went so we took out time, but were still finished within the hour. We were given pen-style audio guides and laminated maps to scan. They were alright. The rooms are dark and don’t have any windows, but everything is clean and well presented. There is a visitor toilet. To say the exhibits are “interactive experiences” is a bit of an exaggeration. Yes, you can touch some things, but it’s pretty much turn a cog to see another cog turn. The kids were bored very quickly. It was amazing to learn more about the incredible inventions LdV made, especially so many that have influenced and inspired modern technology, however I wished I had just gone to the science centre instead. Likewise, the paintings were good examples but I’d rather see the originals. Overall, this was ok, but expensive and I regret not going to the other one that has better reviews.

If you are a Da Vinci fan this is wonderful, the audio tour is good, but the whole experience left us a bit underwhelmed. The models and interactive experiments were fun, but the paintings section was pretty dull, particularly if you have seen the paintings in the galleries where they are housed. Okay as a time filler, but don’t rush.

Interesting museum experience. Cool to see Da Vinci’s patents and ideas come alive. Nice staff and cool shop at the entrance. A bit small, we wished it could be a bit more stuff to see and do.

OK, models tell a lot. But background infromation / deepening was difficult to find. Duration: and you're done after 45 minutes. There's a lot you can't touch.

The exhibition is very well designed. It's very interesting. The hand dryer noise interferes with the audioguide hearing.

A beautiful experience as well as augmented la.realta that gives the opportunity to see the paintings in motion, the opportunity to experience Leonardo's inventions especially virtual reality and the explanation of the symbols and mysteries hidden behind each of his works .. in short.verqmemtw highly recommended

Fun and interesting for all ages. Easy to understand. Lots to learn. Thank you for putting this together, well worth a visit.

My wife and I visited the museum while in Rome and I expected to see some amazing art work without realising that Da Vinci was also an amazing engineer, scientist, sculptor and architect. They have so many things on display that surprised us as we walked around and discovered what a genius he was. This experience will not disappoint regardless of your knowledge of the man himself. For sure come and check it out. We both loved it
