On the 4 November Public Memorial Day, the museum will be exceptionally open on a Tuesday (weekly closing day), with free entrance for everyone, and will subsequently close on the next Wednesday 5 November 2025.
Do not miss the new permanent gallery Domus. Furnishings from Pompeii.
The new gallery expands and starts a dialogue with the adjacent rooms dedicated to everydaylife objects from Vesuvian towns. The new rooms, from 90 to 94, will permanently display the sculptures and the furnishings from Vesuvian cities: stools, benches, tables, oil-lamps, candelabra, lamp-holders, braziers, chafing-dishes, bowls and basins for fountains, but also mural frescoes. These objects are incredibly beautiful and evocative and they have been a source of inspiration in the sector of design and applied arts, ever since they were discovered, forging modern European taste.
