If you are interested in technologies and various types of vehicles, you will have to allow at least 3-4 hours for this museum. We had no idea what to expect and it was a bit confusing at the beginning but soon we were smitten with the exhibitions. The museum has a section dedicated to Leonardo's works and it houses the world's largest collection of models, made on his drawings. Beside that one, there are many other different sections covering all aspects of world's industry with lots of items on display - Transport, Space, Telecommunications, Energy, Steel and Rubber Processing, etc. The museum is arranged in a former monastery, it covers a huge area and houses its vast collections in several buildings. Very interesting was the guided tour in the "Enrico Totti" submarine. The ex-naval officer who was in charge of the tour, gave all the information in Italian and in English for all the visitors. In one sentence, the museum is awesome and recommended for science enthusiasts and curious, inquisitive children of all ages.

The museum of hydroelectric energy of Valle Camonica is located in the historic power station of Cedegolo, built in 1909-1910 by Egidio Dabbeni, a Brescia-born architect of European renown. The museum itinerary, inaugurated in 2008 but yearly updated with new attractions, tells the story of the water, from its formation in the atmosphere to its fall on the earth, up to the arrival in the hydroelectric plant, where it is transformed into electricity. The large spaces, starting from the suggestive basement, are dedicated to a rich program of events and temporary exhibitions. In 2015, the museum was recognized as an anchor point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage, the "road" by which the Council of Europe collects the main sites of the continental industrial heritage.
