About

The museo Leonardiano in Vinci offers one of the broadest and most original collections of machines and models devoted to Leonardo the engineer, the architect and the scientist,and to the history of the renaissance technology in general. The renovation of the Museo Leonardiano, one of the most important collections dedicated to the Genius from Tuscany, is of fundamental importance for the town of Vinci and the surrounding area and marks a further milestone on the path of innovation embarked on by the enterprising museum team. Following the opening of the new museum area in Palazzina Uzielli and the inauguration of Piazza de' Guidi, redesigned by Mimmo Paladino and from where the new entrance to the museum is accessed, the plans for the renovation of the Museum dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci come to completion with the reopening of the Conti Guidi Castle which now houses an updated and enhanced-access exhibition route. The result is an accessible and even richer Museum, with new content which highlights the Leonardo machines and models and puts them in historical context. Truly a centre of excellence in the town of Vinci and a major tourist attraction for the area.
