Naples, after one and a half years the Secret Cabinet of the National Archaeological Museum reopens

Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 11, the Secret Cabinet rooms at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples, dedicated to the 250 artifacts with erotic subjects found during excavations in Vesuvian cities, will reopen. Visits will be held in the morning, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and will be possible for groups of eight people at a time.

“A symbolic gift to citizens and tourists present in the city on Ferragosto,” says Paolo Giulierini, director of the MANN. The Secret Cabinet of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples had been closed in February 2020, that is, in the first moments of the Covid-19 pandemic. The collection now finally reopens in safety and will be visible every day (except Tuesday, weekly rest) from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.: this is due to the implementation of the new Green Pass regulations, “so that a route can be guaranteed to be experienced safely,” the museum says.
