From “The Electronic Train” with a focus on circuits and digitalization to the third edition “One Day Lab”
Spring is coming, and HZERO Museum is ready with a new educational offering designed for adults and young enthusiasts who share a passion for model railroading. Three new modeling courses—one completely new and two already well-established—are set to make the museum even more of a reference point and gathering place for model railway enthusiasts in Tuscany and beyond. Here are the details of the new courses:
The Electronic Train – Basic Course for Adults
Over two days, participants will deepen their knowledge of alternating and direct currents learn to recognize basic electronic components, and build simple circuits. A key part of the workshop will focus on the digitalization of a personal model brought by each participant.
All materials will be provided by the museum. The decoder used for the model’s digitalization will remain the exclusive property of each participant.
DURATION: 9 hours divided into two sessions:
- Friday, April 4: 2:00 PM – 5:30 PM
- Saturday, April 5: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM – 5:00 PM
Location: HZERO Museum, Piazza degli Ottaviani, 2/R, Florence.
COST: €150, with a 20% discount for those who register by Friday, March 14, 2025.
One Day Lab – Summer Edition
Our short-format One Day Lab is back after the success of the first two editions!
Participants will spend the day learning how to create a small diorama with the support of HZERO’s expert staff. For the Summer Edition, we will enhance the landscape with themed details! All materials will be provided by the museum. The diorama created during the workshop will remain the exclusive property of the participants.
DURATION: 6 hours in a single day:
- Saturday, June 21: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM – 5:30 PM

One Day Lab Kids
The short-format workshop is back for kids, now with two separate age groups (5–8 years and 9–13 years) to allow children and teens to participate together. Guided by the museum’s expert staff and accompanied by at least one adult, participants will work on creating a miniature landscape. It will be a fun experience, building, gluing, and painting to bring to life the tiny world they have imagined!
DURATION: 3 hours in a single day:
- Saturday, May 31: 2:30 PM – 5:30 PM
Location: HZERO Museum, Piazza degli Ottaviani, 2/R, Florence.
Due to the nature of the tools and materials used (glue, precision pliers, brushes), each child must be accompanied by an adult for the entire activity.
COST: €30 per package (1 adult + 1 child).
