Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia

The world's largest science and technology museum is named after the legendary artist, engineer, and scientist Leonardo da Vinci. It is located in a spacious and spectacular 16th-century monastery in Sant'Ambrogio, adjacent to Leonardo's former Milan apartment and the site of his renowned painting The Last Supper. The museum traces macro and micro worldwide achievements in science and technology from the Renaissance period. With over 13 interactive workshops and exhibitions (such as video games and immersive settings), the presentation is vibrant and approachable, making the museum a suitable choice for people with children and early teens. The display texts are all in English.

The Materials section discusses the whole life cycle of contemporary items, from raw materials to recycling. There are sections dedicated to polymeric and synthetic materials, as well as fundamental chemical manufacture. There is also a metal part that demonstrates metal extraction and processing procedures and displays Ernesto Stassano's first electric arc furnace for melting steel, which he built in 1898.
