The Museum exhibit is composed of seven main thematic areas dedicated to a particular field of technology (Figs. 1, 2 and 3). The visit itinerary provides a strictly chronological path through the last 150 years of the history of the industrial development in the field of hydraulic machines and stationary engines, as well as automotive and aircraft engines. The Museum is also endowed with a mechanical workshop for restoration and maintenance. Many engines come from storehouses where they had accumulated over time, set aside as obsolete and forgotten; other pieces are the result of donations and loans from other institutions; a meticulous and painstaking restoration, accompanied by careful historical researches, released each element from under the patina of many years of neglect, restoring its rightful museum dignity and making it available for students, researchers and enthusiasts, and for all people interested in reading a page of history in a different way. The museum is also the promoter of many cultural events in collaboration with various organizations for the advancement and dissemination of technology and science.
