A visit to the DA VINCI INTERACTIVE MUSEUM is
a walk through time through the rooms of the Scoletta
di San Rocco,
built in Venice in 1494 as the first seat of the Confraternity of
Saint Roch.
As it was found to be inappropriate by the
early 1500s, the Scoletta di San Rocco was replaced by the present Scuola Grande.
Inside the
museum, among Leonardo's machines and inventions, there are original
furnishings and six original paintings from the school of Tintoretto
from the 17th century as well as the staircase and the entrance door
from the 1700s.
On display you will find the main
mechanisms designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. You will be able to operate
them and understand the breadth of the engineering and physics
studies he carried out, contributing to the discovery of new dynamics
and new machines that have become irreplaceable in the modern era.
Each principle of physics and mechanics is
accompanied by multilingual explanations.
The works and secrets of the greatest
genius who ever lived are revealed in the exhibition with his most
important projects and drawings, including the reproduction of the
famous Vitruvian Man. You will also find reproductions of Leonardo's
most famous paintings in life size, displayed through innovative
backlighting technology; the very high resolution allows you to
admire all details that are difficult to appreciate in the original.
Each work is accompanied by multilingual
explanations.
Leonardo was an innovator and precursor in
all fields of science: from anatomy to engineering, from geometry to
physics. Discover Leonardo through educational workshops, multimedia
films and the section devoted to anatomy, with studies of the human
body that earned him perfection in the art of portrait painting.
Each experimental station and the anatomy
section are accompanied by multilingual explanations.
Explore the
world of Leonardo Da Vinci through a truly interactive experience
suitable for everyone.
You will
find Leonardo's main inventions in stunning visual impact, working
and life-size, such as war machines, flying machines, principles of
physics and much more.
You will be
able to understand and test the workings of his inventions and
understand how this Renaissance man was extraordinarily ahead of his
time.
Each machine is accompanied by multilingual
explanations.
The only complete exhibition: 300 drawings
on display in rotation and Leonardo's transcribed codices.
In 1902,
the Royal Da Vinci Commission was set up in Rome under the patronage
of the Ministry of Education to bring together Leonardo's heritage
scattered all over the world.
The phototypes were made by the
greatest art historian from the late 19th to the first half of the
20th century, professor Adolfo Venturi.
The volumes
of the codices are presented with a faithful (diplomatic)
transcription and one (critical) translated into current Italian from
the early 20th century.
Given the
delicacy of the material, the codices can only be consulted through
their digitisation presented on a touch screen.
He was born in Anchiano, near Florence on 15 April, the illegitimate son of the notary Ser Piero da Vinci and Caterina, a woman of humble origins.
Leonardo moved to Florence with his father.
Thanks to his father's acquaintances he entered the workshop of the illustrious painter Andrea del Verrocchio as an apprentice.
After a short apprenticeship he succeeded, when he was barely 20 years old, in exceptionally joining the guild of Saint Luke, an organization of painters in Florence, having the opportunity to start an independent artistic career.
Leonardo entered the service of Duke Ludovico Sforza known as the Moor in the Duchy of Milan, where he carried out a variety of activities for about twenty years.
He moved to Rome and entered the service of Giuliano de' Medici
Leonardo's fame reached the King of France Francis I who invited him to move to Amboise in France.
He died at the age of 67 at the Clos Lucé residence near the royal castle of Amboise on 2 May, leaving his inheritance to his disciple Francesco Melzi.
Due to its didactic approach, the museum is
suitable for school classes, which can supplement the theoretical
knowledge part with stimulating interactive sections consisting of
displays, touchscreens, inventions and experimental stations.
Further
information, anecdotes and tips on using the interactive machines can
be obtained with the help of an in-house guide to be booked in
conjunction with the visit.
Each
visit must be organised in advance to optimise occupation and use of
space. We
recommend a maximum of 40 people per visit.
