Go back 2,000 years in time to catch a glimpse of ancient Roman life!
The houses that once lined the streets of Pompeii were buried under a blanket of volcanic ash following the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. One unexpected benefit of this is how well the buildings and objects there were preserved. This exhibition recreates three iconic residences to better immerse visitors into what life in Pompeii would have been like at the time.
*Reference image. This object will not be displayed and is instead part of the video montage available at the end of the exhibition.
Ever wondered what exactly befell Pompeii in 79 CE? Or what kind of excavations were carried out in the region in the eighteenth century? Finish off your tour of the exhibition by traveling back into the past as we uncover hidden truths and gain new perspectives with the help of rich video content!
National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN)
The National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN) was founded in 1860 following the unification of Italy. Prior to this, it was known as the Royal Bourbon Museum, which had opened its doors to the public in 1816. The museum houses artifacts from Charles VII of Naples’s excavations of the Vesuvian region, as well as antiquities from the Farnese Collection, which he had inherited from his mother, Elisabeth Farnese. This exhibition features over 120 objects from the MANN collection.
