For the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci, the “Leonardo da Vinci” Museum of Science and Technology is offering a celebratory exhibition  with a wide selection of spectacular models made in the 1950s to interpret Leonardo's designs alongside frescoes by sixteenth-century Lombard painters from the Pinacoteca di Brera. On display beside the machines will be plaster and terracotta military and civilian architecture models which have recently been restored and were not visible for quite some time. In displaying these two collections with which it opened to the public on 15 February 1953, the Museum offers a unique opportunity to admire an unusual pairing of art and science with an itinerary that intersects Leonardo's different fields of interest and study.
