Placed in a 12th century monastery, the museum features a permanent
Leonardo da Vinci exhibition. Spending 18 years in Milano, Leonardo left many lasting impressions on the city and helped design, among others, defences for Castello Sforzesco. Samples of his work as well as copies of his journals are on display - if you're fluent in italian, your only problem will be deciphering Leonardo's mirror-side writing.
Another exhibit worth mentioning is the Telecommunication, Radio & TV gallery, featuring examples of the earliest machines within the field to the modern day. For a fun comparison, whip out your cell phone near some of the early transmitters and experience the progress in the palm of your hand.
The Transportation Exhibit features both naval, overland and air transports, with many examples of magnificent machines throughout the ages - among them one of the few rocket-driven race cars.
Several more exhibits fill the spacious rooms of the museum - Metallurgy and Physical Sciences among others - avaliable for your viewing pleasure, as far your mood and time permits. You can grab a quick refreshment in the museum cafeteria or snatch a few souvenirs in the local shop (which, incidentally, does not carry AA-batteries for your camera).
