Largest Nikola Tesla exhibition opens in Milan at Ventura XV

exhibition · 2026-05-04

The largest exhibition ever dedicated to Nikola Tesla has opened at Ventura XV in Milan, the only Italian venue for the show. Organized by Venice Exhibition in collaboration with the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, the multimedia and interactive exhibition is aimed at all ages. It is divided into two sections: the first covers Tesla's life, projects, artifacts, machine reproductions, and faithful reconstructions of his living environments; the second explores the outcomes of his dynamic-electric principles through demonstrative instruments. Highlights include an immersive recreation of his Colorado Springs laboratory, where Tesla moved in 1899, and a close-up view of the Big Coil he created, which reproduces electrical discharges similar to natural lightning. The exhibition runs until March 29, 2020.
