Twenty years since the Toti's voyage: the submarine reopens to visitors.

Milan – This coming August 14th will mark 20 years since the night the imposing shape of the submarine Toti passed through the streets of Milan on the final leg of its journey from Cremona to the Museum of Science and Technology . A truly exceptional transport for a 46-meter-long, 350-ton "beast," it transformed into a sort of popular celebration, with 150,000 Milanese residents lining the streets to watch the slow passage (from 9:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.) of the special vehicles along the route that carried the jewel of the Navy from Via Toffetti to Via Olona.

While we wait to celebrate the anniversary of the voyage on the eve of Ferragosto (August 15th), one of the museum's most beloved attractions reopens to the public tomorrow . There are some new developments. Visits had been suspended following an initial redevelopment of the museum's outdoor areas where the Toti is "parked." From tomorrow until September 7th, it will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Starting September 9th, it will be open only on weekends and holidays. Reservations are required and can only be made online when purchasing your admission ticket (children aged 6 and over are permitted to enter the submarine, and those under 14 may only enter accompanied by an adult).

The tour has also been enhanced with new explanatory panels designed for the blind and visually impaired, incorporating a three-dimensional model, a tactile panel with a selection of the submarine and its environments, Braille text, and QR codes with audio to accompany the exploration. The panels were created as part of the project "A Plan for Sensory Accessibility at the Museum," supported by the Cariplo Foundation.
