Leonardo3 Museum (World of Leonardo da Vinci)

The Leonardo3 Museum is an interactive exhibit representing the multi-disciplinary skills of one of Italy's greatest sons – Leonardo da Vinci. The temporary Leonardo3 exhibit consists of more than 200 interactive machines and models based on Leonardo's designs. A highlight of the exhibit is a digitized version of the entire Codex Atlanticus, more than 1,100 sheets of Leonardo's designs, writing, and drawings.
Among the models on display in the exhibit – some of which have never been built before – is The Flying Machine of Milan, including Leonardo's illuminated drawings for it. Also on display are his original designs for the huge bronze horse that stands in San Siro – it wasn't completed during Leonardo's lifetime.
