Naples Archaeological Museum Virtual Tour: Masterpieces of Pompeii

Tour Overview

Discover the extraordinary cultural heritage of Pompeii in the surroundings of one of Italy’s finest museums on our virtual tour of the Naples Archaeological Museum. Join local guide and art historian Lorenzo on a fascinating journey through the extraordinary collection of mosaics, frescoes, statues and artefacts excavated from Pompeii and Herculaneum and brought here for safe-keeping over the centuries. Marvel at an extraordinary mosaic depicting Alexander the Great’s defeat of the Persians; immerse yourself in the colourful splendour of Pompeiian wall painting, and admire masterpieces of classical sculpture like the Farnese Bull. We’ll also get to see what the ancients got up to in private as we explore the ‘Gabinetto Segreto,’ a secret collection of erotic artefacts taken from Pompeii’s bars, brothels and homes that range from sexy frescoes to a bewildering array of phallic lucky charms. Our virtual tour of the Naples Museum is the perfect opportunity to get the complete picture of ancient Pompeii from home - join us today!

Tour Description

Meet Your Guide: Lorenzo

Hi, I’m Lorenzo! After earning my M.A. in Art History from the Suor Orsola Benincasa University of Naples, I worked as a journalist, art curator and editor. In collaboration with museums, research centers, galleries and cultural foundations, I have curated several exhibitions, especially on contemporary art. As an editor in a creative industry, I developed content for new technology dedicated to cultural heritage. For the past seven years I have worked as a professional guide. I am passionate about guiding in museums, because I think that nothing can touch the human soul more than a beautiful art collection: the dream of a single individual, the testimony of the history of a country, and the place where Art meets Civilisation. I am proud to have been a member of the Through Eternity team since 2017. I cover tours in the region of Campania, Naples, Pompeii, and more recently, in Rome and the surrounding region too.
