Bullet with Butterfly Wings

Today we went to the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia. The place is a wreck but it is full of beautiful examples of Italian ingenuity. Walking along the exhibits we spotted this magnificent rocket car. It had a top speed of 200 kph, but they only took it to 150 because it has no suspention. Just imagine going at that speed in a bathtub! More photos.
If you plan to go do not miss the Leonardo da Vinci Gallery. It has most of Leonardo’s inventions in scale models.
