The museum is a little gem in the city center. The entrance is at the end of a gallery, a little hidden by the imposing staircase.

My family and I absolutely loved our visit to the Leonardo3 museum in Milan. It's a fantastic experience for all ages, with so many things to see and do.

Excellent museum, especially for the evening price. 1,5h is enough. Very versatile. Amazing, beautiful models. Short descriptions in English, longer in Italian. I've seen people with audio guides. Excellent location. Additionally beautiful view to the Galleria.
