The museum in Milan is either my first or second favorite site of the entire trip. Our guide was well rehearsed and knowledgeable plus he seemed passionate about the information he was sharing. I knew I was going to like the museum right after I got the map. I visited the musical instruments, space, metals, nanotechnology, and nutrition. The museum had a few antique Steinway pianos that were taunting me to play them. The string instrument section was the most interesting display. I saw many instruments that I didn't recognize. There was a 7 stringed viola within one of the cases that I wanted to play. The second place I visited was the space section. I could have spent a lot more time in that area because of all of the interactive displays. One of the games was similar to the PC game Kerbal Space Program. You had to make your own spaceship and complete a specific task. I also saw a bit of the moon today! The third place I went was the metals area. I went there for Abby <3 She was happy. I found it interesting, but the visit was mostly for her. The fourth area was the nanotechnology area. It was closed. David was sad. The fifth display was the nutrition area. David and I moped around the displays because he was still sad about the nanotechnology area. However, I still enjoyed the nutrition area. Overall, this might have been my favorite museum of the trip. This site definitely calls for a second trip.
I agree with you that this museum had many different areas to explore and interact with! Just a minor disagreement however with our tour guide. I agree he was quite knowledgeable in anything regarding Leonardo however he wasn't very engaging and passionate contrary to our wonderful tour guide from the Galileo Museum. Nevertheless! The experience was great all around!
ReplyDeleteI loved this museum!! It was worth it to return and I would love to again. The instruments were there on display, not to be played, sadly, so I am glad you exercised so much restraint, it would have been sad for you to be tossed out.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even noticed the instruments! The nanotechnology exhibit would have been very cool to see but there was so much I don't think I could fit anymore information in my brain.
