By Christmas we will open the Paestum depots. Zuchtriegel announces.

At the conference"Preventive Conservation in Great Museums," held on October 12, 2018 at the Vatican Museums and curated by Barbara Jatta and Salvatore Settis, the director of the Paestum Archaeological Park, Gabriel Zuchtriegel, announced that the Paestum Depots will be opened permanently to visitors. “We are working on a project to make visiting the deposits an experience for all visitors. Public enjoyment can also be decisive for the preservation of the deposits,” he said.

The intention would be to increasingly liken archaeological repositories to archives and public libraries, that is, places accessible to the public and researchers.
By Christmas, the Paestum Park would already like to implement this initiative.

“In developing the itinerary we were inspired by behind-the-scenes tours that many theaters around the world offer. Our goal is also to show archaeology behind the scenes. The route will be a special experience, I can assure you of that, but for now we do not anticipate the details,” the director added.

For the past three years, the Paestum Archaeological Park had already made the deposits open to the public, with great success, during"Deposit Fridays."

By Christmas we will open the Paestum depots. Zuchtriegel announces.
