Description
“Le Macchine di Leonardo”, the world’s biggest (PRIVATE) collection of Leonardo da Vinci machines is born following the juvenile passion of Carlo (born on 25th February 1936), the founder of the Niccolai family and company. Particularly skilled craftsmen, the members of the Niccolai family have so far developed 250 different models, and 50 interactive models based on the Da Vinci codes and on historical documents using the materials of Leonardo’s time: wood, metal, ropes and fabrics. According to the unwritten rules of Florentine craftsmen, Carlo Niccolai has passed on his passion to his sons and grandsons, who, thanks to their knowledge of new technologies have enriched the collection with new models and organised more than a hundred exhibitions all over the world in the last ten years. The exhibition is 850 square meters of exposure on three floors

Itinerary
Leonardo Da Vinci machines are displayed at the Galleria Michelangelo, where the Macchiaioli used to meet, in one of the most renowned streets in Florence city centre. More than 50 models are displayed in four rooms: the largest one is dedicated to civil machines, in the second room flying machines are shown, war machines are to be found in the third and in the fourth the recently developped collection of anatomical models can be admired. Most of the models are real working machines. A documentary on Leonardo Da Vinci’s life and works is displayed on large screen monitors. The gallery has an agreement with Caffé Michelangiolo, the restaurant inside the exhibition area. At the bookshop you will find many publications and gadgets.

Disappointing
For a person like Da Vinci, the museum is a letdown. Little information, too much noise from children playing with the interactive inventions.

Excellent Value, Excellent Museum
The Leonardo D Vinci Museum is one of the best values per ticket we purchased while in Italy for three weeks. The museum is well done, the exhibits well curated, the placards are we written. It was not crowded the day we were there, so we could take our time at each display. I would highly recommend.
J
Good experience at the museum
Very good value for money. Good to see Leonardo’s inventions and it definitely give you an insight into the mind of a genius and his life. Would recommend attending. Also the shop could do with having some Da Vinci Themed postcards!
J
Very interesting.
Very enlightening visit really enjoyed this. Didn't realise how much he'd invented & wrote early designs for. Good price
O
Awesome!
Great value and great experience for the money! I would recommend this museum to everyone (especially families with children as there is a whole lower level dedicated to them)!!!
U
Worth seeing, with or without your children
Really nice, to do with or without your children

Fantastic experience
We were allowed to visit the centre with our Toy Poodle. Given that there are very few places you can visit with a dog in Florence so this was a very welcome way to have a break from the August sun. The team at the desk were lovely and it was great getting to see interactive objects designed from Leonardo's drawings. Also got a photo of our puppy as the Mona Lisa which is so cute!
