Leonardo Da Vinci
The models of the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci and Revell
The collection of historic models of Museo Nazionale was created to
celebrate the fifth centennial of Leonardo’s birth. A group of experts
studied his manuscripts in order to create the models which were
displayed for the first time in 1953.
Rather than being projects of machines to be built, Leonardo’s technical
drawings display observations of existing works, suggestions for
improvement or studies on nature. Revell, starting from the museum
collection, has implemented a series of wooden construction model kits,
like the museum modelers made sixty years ago.
