Materials section

The Materials section treats the life cycle of modern products from raw materials to recycling. Specific sections are dedicated to polymeric and synthetic materials and to basic chemical manufacturing. There is also a metal section that illustrates the metal extraction and processing techniques and exhibits the first electric arc furnace for melting steel invented in 1898 by Ernesto Stassano.

Transport section

Macchi MC 205 V

The Transport section is divided in four different sections:

Energy section

The Energy section is dedicated to energy sources and devices. In this part of the museum there is the Margherita thermoelectric power station (1895) and an oil industry/petrochemistry section.

Communication section

The Communication section is divided into three areas:

  • The Astronomy section shows several antique astronomic and topographical instruments, including two 17th-century celestial and earth globes, the Salmoiraghi refracting telescope, and a Foucault pendulum.
  • The Telecommunication section is dedicated to all forms of modern-era communication from telegraph to telephone and wireless communication, and from radio to television, with a global view of the technical history of Italian television.
  • The Sound section shows the main technologies for recording and reproducing sound from the 19th century to modern times.

Leonardo da Vinci, Art & Science section

Leonardo da Vinci flying machine

The Leonardo da Vinci, Art & Science area is divided into four parts:

  • The Jewelry collection shows precious objects from stones and gems to metals, including gold and ivory jewellery.
  • The Leonardo da Vinci section exhibits many Leonardo machines reproduced from Da Vinci drawings,[4] including a hydraulic saw, a spinning machine, a flying machine and Leonardo's tank. The models of the collection are the fruit of a reinterpretation by a group of experts who have translated and completed his drawings.
  • The Horology collection shows the evolution of watchmaking and shows several pendulum clocks, ancient clocks, personal watches and tower mechanisms.
  • The Musical Instruments section exhibits instruments from the 17th to the 20th century. There is a reconstruction of a lute maker's workshop from the 17th century.
