Technical Museum. da Vinci

Finishing the story about Milan, I want to talk a little bit about there the Technical Museum. L. da Vinci. At first, I had plans to do this in detail, but on reflection, I realized that if I start to show it in as much detail as the Nuremberg w / e the museum a year ago, the fuse at Genoa, with its maritime museum is not enough. So did sort of summary - hodgepodge. Here heap everything - bayans and submarines, airplanes and locomotives, cars and cash registers.

The very same museum is interesting primarily because it is a sort of hymn to concentrate Italian industrial design and engineering - in various fields, but mostly during the last half century. Examining its halls and hangars, begin to gradually realize why all sorts of Ferrari-Lamborghini came from here, from these places. Well, I mean, I want to say that the strengths of the historic Italian technical tradition - this is design. Sometimes they even go out so that the sacrifice of style and design brings the fighting qualities, the price of production, or the stability of the product to a hostile environment. But, such is their mentality - there is, and the strengths and weaknesses, as well as other nations.
However, let's hike and see.

Milan. The museum L. da Vinci. Hall of radio and audio





2. To get to the museum, you need to go to the subway S.Ambrogio, but already there is about 5 minutes walk - and we have in place. Here is the area with the Church: the museum occupies a large block on the left of the frame, and of the entrance to the building, respectively, also on the left.



3. Here's what a 2nd (main) floor of the main building of the museum. Left exposed model and the ideas of Leonardo da Vinci, with detailed explanations, and full-scale exhibits of their motives - from the wings to the devices in mining. In general, it's a whole big topic, here I dwell on it will not. From this long longitudinal side of the hall depart smaller, thematic - printing, musical instruments, clocks, radio, trade, etc. It is necessary to watch the pictures do not give the impression.



4. Hall of radio and audio equipment. If there was better lighting, I would have took off more. But the Italians let loose there is the mysterious atmosphere of gloom, therefore, especially not to shoot. The title picture post - also from this room.

15. Cabin Design (on the boiler).



16. The stamp manufacturer.



17. This view inside the hangar, with the car of the late XIX century, I already showed you.



And now from the w / d move on to a large hangar, the aircraft-Marine. He is warm, in contrast to the first.

18. It is arranged in two levels on the ground are represented mainly by marine exhibits, and on top - aviation. About a quarter of the hangar takes a large model of the superstructure of the ship the second half of the XX century (pictured), with internal content - cabin, cabin, radio room, galley, etc. Unfortunately, in the day of the visit it was closed for some reason, so I'm inside her, alas, I did not get.



19. In the other half of the hangar put sailboat (or a life-size model - I'm not exactly understood). You can walk around and view the details of the rigging, deck superstructures.



20. On the second floor are arranged planes, more than half of which - 20-50-ies. XX century.

To retire in 1992, after the end of the Cold War. Then purified and delivered with great hemorrhoids here - from HMB Augusta through Cremona, then a month went by land to Milan - April-May 2001 After reading it epic, I was amazed that stubborn Italians dragged her name here, not put anywhere Type in the port of Trieste and Bari.
