Sansevero Chapel Museum

💭 "Each sculpture and every detail in Cappella Sansevero carries a deep symbolism. Visiting this museum is not just about admiring the beauty of the art but also about reflecting on the meaning of life, death, and spirituality. It’s a place of meditation and introspection, where art brings us closer to universal truths." 🌿 I had a great experience there!

A beautiful place with nice exhibits dating quite back in time. There was a tour guide when we visited explaining the underground. The only thing I don't understand is why there are so many exhibits with no protection whatsoever. No glass case, no bars, no guards. You can basically touch anything. The only explanation I can think of is either they don't care about their stuff, or most of the are replicas. Either way it's alarming.

Tickets must be bought well in advance. Even so, there's a line to enter. Visitors coming through an intermediery have it easier. Inside there's a single 30'x60' over-the-top, extremely well lit room, where photography or cell-phone using isn't allowed.

We travalled from sorrento to napoli becouse of this museum i plan on studying art and wished to see the extraordinary pieces however my time, money and vacation was wasted, the staff was very rude despite us getting tickets ahead of time they made us wait in a line then we were inside it was a tiny one room museum with some remarkable art however we werent alowed to take pictures noone told us this before buying tickets , then before the exit we realised why we werent allowed to take pictures even without flash becouse they wished to sell us expencive unnecessery merchindice despite us already paying 10€ per person. I suggest finding a diffrent place to visit. (Took pix out of spite)

A truly moving experience! I recently visited the Sansevero Chapel Museum in Naples and was absolutely blown away by the beauty and artistry of the Veiled Christ sculpture. I think it's actually life changing to see. It is truly a masterpiece and a sight to behold. The intricate details of the veil are simply incredible, almost unbelievable, and it's hard to imagine that it's made of marble. The chapel itself is also quite stunning, with its ornate decorations and sculptures. I highly recommend this museum to anyone visiting Naples. It's a must-see!

They don’t allow you to take photos?? In a museum?? The was staff constantly watching us and we weren’t allowed to sit down. There’s only two rooms and it’s quite crowded. Not worth the money

There’s a long line every time I pass by this chapel, and they are already ticket holders. Make sure to purchase your ticket in advance or it can sell out for the day. The interior is beautiful but makes for a very short visit. No photos allowed, but my camera malfunctioned and accidentally took a picture. Thought it would be good to share.

The most beautiful marble sculptures i have ever seen but expensive! You can see the entire chapel in 5 minutes so then is 10 euro per person a lot. If you do visit we advise to pay a little more for the audio guide (6 euro for 2 persons). The audio guide makes you pay attention to al the little details and appreciate them more. You can't take pictures but you can download the professional pictures from the website. (See attatched) Get in line about 5min before your timeslot.

Visited May 20, 2022. Booked tickets online. Great small museum. Don't worry if you don't score a ticket online. There seemed to be a short line for those who didn't have tickets. The highlights are the Veiled Christ, Modesty & Disillusioned. It really was something else to see that kind of artistry with marble. Be sure to go downstairs and check out the 2 anatomical studies which display all the veins in a human body.

Known as Cappella Sansevero Art Museum, or Chapel of Santa Maria della Pietà, this Neapolitan building contains a diverse collection of ornate sculpture visible for just 7Euro. Adhering to a strict photography policy, circumvented only through time and patience, expect to spend an hour in the two small chambers, mesmerized by the ornate netting on Il Disinganno and breathtaking Veiled Christ by Giuseppe Sanmartino. Downstairs guests will also find two anatomical studies of human vasculature that long pre-date the "Bodies" exhibits touring globally

It's a room with some statues €8 too expensive for one room . You can see photos of the status and room on line . Save yourself the money. The staff is very unfriendly .

Amazing. Very pricey, but staggering. This was my favorite thing in all of Naples.

Amazing! The veiled Jesus Christ was well worth the 7 euro entrance fee. Small museum with other features to appreciate, to include the embalmed bodies in the basement showing the veins and organs on two humans. The visit can be completed in less than an hour. Highly recommend!

Mind blowing. This small private chapel it a crazy mix of art and madness. Its the only place in the world I think I have ever seen a carved fishing net! To see jesus draped in a delicate sheet the looks like silk yet made of marble.

This is a complete MUST SEE and is less than 5 minutes walk from the Hotel Neapolis which is where we stayed. This is far more than a museum. It was established by a Free Thinker. One of his books was banned by the Pope which is always a good recommendation. The mystery of how he formed the blood-flow structures in the two museum exhibits of the man and woman is still not known. Sadly the third exhibit of a foetus was stolen some years ago.
