The Museum is located at 21 Via San Vittore in Milan, Italy and features in addition to old globes and the pendulum, many of Leonardo Da Vinci's scientific designs made into real models. Homage is also made to Italy's lead in telecommunications. The Museum does not permit flash photography- which explains the poor quality photos.
The sign indicates that this is a 20th century pendulum. I'm sorry to say that I wasn't able to obtain information concerning the weight of the ball, the length (I would approximate 20 ft), rotation time, etc.
