There are more than 50 certified da Vinci inventions on display, more than anywhere else. You can see how they work and what they do. There are also full-scale reproductions of his famous masterpieces such as the Last Supper and Mona Lisa.
Your Expert Guide will tell you about da Vinci’s influence on the Renaissance period in Rome and beyond.
