Is Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Atlanticus actually on display in the Ambrosiana Biblioteca? Is this a permanent display or temporary? According to the website entrance to the library is only by registration and acceptance by the librarian and the Codex is in the library????

My understanding is that at any time there are selected pages from the Codex on display in a room at the Ambrosiana. We were there in November 2018 and saw pages that included notes on musical instruments and a few sketchy drawings. Obviously not da Vinci's greatest work, but exciting to see anyway.
What is the entrance fee and should I book ahead of time?

Cost for adult entry via their website (which is a little complicated) is €16.50. We have been there on 3 different occasions at various times during July and August and …
Cost for adult entry via their website (which is a little complicated) is €16.50. We have been there on 3 different occasions at various times during July and August and never had to queue so I don’t think it is essential to buy tickets ahead of time for this particular venue. There are though sometimes combined tickets with other attractions that may offer some discount. You definitely do though have to book ahead to see the Last Supper (superb) and the Duomo, whether it be just to go into the cathedral or walk on the ramparts.
What is the entrance fee and should I book ahead of time?
A:
About 15 euro, depending on your age and ticket package. You can buy them on line for a small fee, but this time of year there is no need to book ahead. Maybe in the summer you should.
