The Tempio Voltiano is a small, purpose-built museum on the lakefront dedicated to Alessandro Volta, the Como-born inventor of the battery, with his original instruments on display inside a neoclassical rotunda. It's compact enough to see properly in half an hour and genuinely specific to the city rather than a generic science museum.
Local tip: Pair it with a walk along the lakefront gardens right outside – the museum alone is a short visit.
