Museo d’Arte e Scienza stands in Milan, a short distance from Castello Sforzesco, bringing art and scientific investigation together. Founded in 1990 by German physicist Gottfried Matthaes, it presents Buddhist and African collections alongside authenticity studies.

Burmese and Thai works form Italy’s most significant Buddhist collection, while objects from Mali, Ivory Coast, and Nigeria represent Sub-Saharan cultures. Rooms examine paintings on canvas and wood, antique furniture, ceramics, amber, ivory, silver, prints, and ancient books. Microscopes, magnifying glasses, and special lamps support practical demonstrations that distinguish genuine objects from forgeries.

A scientific laboratory analyses and dates art materials, and visitors can tour it upon request. Two educational exhibitions explore Leonardo da Vinci’s Treatise on Painting and his twenty years in Milan. Temporary exhibitions and art courses extend the programme beyond the permanent collections. The focus becomes tangible when a microscope turns a question of authenticity into something you can inspect.
