You will learn more about:

His sketches of the human body

Numerous reproductions of anatomical drawings and sketches. The artist was aiming to master anatomy and saw the human body as a wonderful machine that was capable of a wide range of movements.

The Mona Lisa reveals her secrets

An unprecedented study of the master's most recognisable work. The most gripping analysis of the whole exhibition is that of the Mona Lisa, probably the most famous painting ever painted.

The mysteries of "The last Supper"

A delight for lovers of fine works of art! Contemplate the replicas of Leonardo's Horse, Virgin of the Rocks, The Annunciation and of course, The Last Supper.

70 life-size inventions

Diving suit, automate, flying machine, catapult, tank, submarine... all have been created by Italian artisan craftsmen, exactly as da Vinci imagined them in the 15th and 16th centuries.

An exceptional exhibition of the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, which is the perfect excursion for groups, companies and associations (discounts for groups of at least 20 people and a choice of hours/dates).

The most comprehensive exhibition of the works of the Florentine master ever assembled. All that is missing, is you!
