Sunday Evening in Milan

On Sunday afternoon, we breezed through the aquarium in Parco Sempione and headed to the Leonardo da Vinci Science and Technology Museum. I thought it would be a bunch of dry, old, yet cool stuff, like this old apothecary.

Or this exhibit on the history of clocks.

But it included some really awesome stuff, like exhibits on polymers. I liked this illustration of the percentages of applications of plastics.

They also had a huge section of transportation and vehicles. There's a retired nuclear submarine, next time I go I will try to get tickets for the tour of the sub.

There's also a huge indoor rail yard! Lots and lots of engines. I wonder how they got all these things to the museum...

For dinner that night we went to Biffi in the Galleria. It's one of those super showy locations inside the Galleria, it's been there since 1867. The food was good, and the waiters were on point, but it's quite pricey so I would hope so!

That was our last group dinner in Milan before Mark and Mary left for Florence!
