  • Interesting museum with drawings of Leonardo brought to life. It was empty on the day despite being Sunday and it had a great panoramic view of the town in one of the buildings (the view's last entry is 30 mins before closing so be aware!). Beware that you cannot touch anything in the museum which is a shame. It would be so much not interesting and educational if that would be possible. They argue that the models are art in themselves but they could have got simpler versions for exploration. Videos do not always explain enough and there is a lot of text everywhere. The museum is definitely not for children, they would be bored.
  • Its a good museum.This one is aimed more at adults, if you have young children then I recommend checking out the interactive leonardo experience in Florence.
  • What an awesome old town! If you're in Vinci it worth stopping by the museum and climbing to the top of the bell tower. The view was breath taking!
  • We visit with 2 childen (9,7) , vinci area is amazing. The museum intresting with great replicas of lenoardo da vinci (2 hours visit), we boght the tickets on the spot. In front of the museum you can find the tourist guide office , very informative.
  • Very interesting, full of DeVinci's inventions, there aren't many English explanations but the fair price, amazing view (especially from the top of the second building) and beautiful replicas and models more than made up for it. Vinci (the area) itself is also stunning, more than anything I'd recommend taking a detour through the area as the views are breathtaking.
