Milan's Museo Nazionale Scienza e Tecnologia Opens New Leonardo Galleries

On December 10, 2019, the Nuove Gallerie Leonardo was launched at the Museo Nazionale Scienza e Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, showcasing 1,300 square meters dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci. Curated by Claudio Giorgione with assistance from Pietro Marani, the exhibition includes more than 170 items: 70 historical models, 33 naturalia, 18 ancient texts, 17 casts, 14 frescoes, 6 artifacts, and 39 multimedia displays. The galleries delve into Leonardo's diverse interests, with partnerships from the Musei Reali di Torino and the Royal Collection in Windsor. Twelve frescoes are provided by the Pinacoteca di Brera, with additional loans from Kosmos. Immersive installations were designed by scenographer François Confino, marking the conclusion of the 500th anniversary celebrations of Leonardo's death, with support from the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Tourism.
