Nice museum with interactive exhibits. Did think it was going to be a bit bigger with more on Leonardo's life; but it was more focused on his work. The hologram displays were especially good and would have liked to have seen more. Audio guide could have done with a pause button.

Interesting and fun exhibition, full of devices, many of which can be used by visitors, with clear and exhaustive didactic panels. There are also some lesser known curiosities. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable. The Palazzo della Cancelleria, a work of art in itself, can be reached by taking a walk through beautiful areas of Rome.

I found it interesting to see what principles Leonardo da Vinci used in his inventions. It was not only interesting to see what principles he DID use, but even more what principles he did NOT use. I don't want to be a party spoiler, so I will not write down my conclusions :) I also found it astounding to see the unpracticality of some inventions, which should be as obvious in that time. He must have enjoyed inventing thoroughly and left practicality to a later stage. I think that is a great lesson for nowadays. Dare to dream and don't be afraid to seem silly. Well, this is my personal; opinion of course, there his no need to agree with me
