The Antiquarium of the Ercolano Archaeological Park is preparing to embark on an unprecedented adventure that will materialize from April 10, 2025, with the arrival of a collection of wooden furniture and instruments considered unique in the world. This permanent exhibition will not only enrich the museum's offering, but promises to catapult visitors into an authentic journey into the past.
A journey through history
After a successful exhibition at the Reggia di Portici that lasted more than a year, the wooden furniture will be presented in an innovative way in a new wing of the Antiquarium. **"As with the boat and the gold of the fugitives found on the ancient beach, also through the precious furniture one can immerse oneself in everyday life,"** says a spokesperson for the institution. These objects, preserved thanks to a process of carbonization, offer an unprecedented insight into daily life in ancient times, with their original painted decorations that hark back to a distant era.
Official inauguration
The official inauguration will be held on Thursday, April 10 at 12.00:XNUMX at the Antiquarium, and the participation of prominent figures in the museum and cultural sector is expected. The event promises to be an unmissable opportunity, capable of attracting experts and enthusiasts, giving rise to an intense dialogue on the historical and cultural value of these finds. With this initiative, the Archaeological Park of Ercolano reaffirms its commitment to preserving and enhancing not only the history of a place, but also the daily life of those who lived there, offering visitors access to a unique and fascinating heritage.
