Founded in 1862 to stock the materials collected by the senator Giuseppe Devincenzi at the London exhibition in that very year, the Royal Industrial Museum was settled by the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Trade "to promote the industrial education and the progress of sciences and industries".
It was located at the ex Convento delle Convertite (litterary: Converted Women's Convent) in the palace built to host the Ministry of the War that, in 1865, after the capital move to Florence, became a free space. In 1888 at the Royal Industrial Museum, Galileo Ferraris settled the Electrotechnic School and Laboratory.
The Royal Museum was merged with the Application School for Engineers in 1906 and gave birth to the Politecnico.
