Milan’s National Science and Technology Museum is offering Summer Top Stop, a summer activity programme that will run to 8 September.
Exciting activities for children of all ages
Visiting hours will be extended until 6 p.m. from Tuesday to Friday and until 7 p. m. on Saturdays and holidays, and every week children between the ages of six and nine will be able to embark on a journey into science. They will be able to experiment with different activities in the interactive laboratories where the Leonardo, Genetics, Biotechnology, Food and Chemistry i.labs and the Tinkering Zone will alternate.
Virtual reality experiences
In the Base Marte laboratory girls and boys from 11 years old will be able to dress up as members of a crew on a mission to Mars, while younger children, aged three to six, will delight in the interactive activities offered in the i.lab Soap Bubbles and i.lab Sea Voyages. In the Virtual Zone some activities will be offered for adults and children from 12 years old, with others for adults and children from 16 years old, allowing them to immerse themselves in various virtual reality experiences.
The world’s largest Leonardo exhibition
All visitors will be able to access the Leonardo Galleries, the largest exhibition in the world dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci, which can be visited freely or accompanied by a guide even during the week. The permanent exhibitions will also be open, from the Space Area with the fragment of the Moon, to the Technological Mosaic exhibition to the Aeronavale pavilion with the great sailing ships and aircraft pioneers of flight. Rail transport from the second half of the 19th century to 1920 is the theme in the Ferroviario Pavilion, where a late 19th century station has been reconstructed, and which has a range of fascinating exhibits.
