Italy's largest Science and Technology Museum is housed inside to the ancient monastery of San Vittore al Corpo. There used to be a fourth-century basilica and Mausoleum here for emperors Gratian and Valentinian III. The building you see today was built in the 16th century, and has functioned as a military hospital and a barracks.

The museum's exhibits are divided into seven major themes - materials, transport, energy, communication, Leonardo da Vinci, Art & Science, New Frontiers, and Science for Kids. These cover exhibits such as metal extraction, chemical processing, historical vessels, astronomical and telecommunications instruments, precious stones and minerals, clock making, machines based on Da Vinci's drawings, and musical instruments.

One of the most beloved exhibits is that of the Toti submarine S-506, built for WWII by Italians.
