Museo Cappela Sansevero

The Museo Cappella Sansevero, also known as the Sansevero Chapel Museum, is located in the historic center of Naples, Italy. The museum is housed in a 16th-century chapel and contains an impressive collection of artwork, sculptures, and other artifacts.

The chapel was commissioned in the late 16th century by the Prince of Sansevero, Raimondo di Sangro, who was a prominent patron of the arts and sciences. The interior of the chapel is adorned with intricate Baroque and Rococo decorations, including frescoes, stucco work, and marble sculptures.

One of the most famous works in the museum is the Veiled Christ, a life-size marble sculpture created by the Italian artist Giuseppe Sanmartino in the 18th century. The sculpture depicts the body of Jesus Christ covered in a transparent veil, and is considered a masterpiece of Baroque sculpture.

Other notable works in the museum include the Anatomical Machines, a series of anatomical models created by the Prince of Sansevero himself using a secret technique, and a series of paintings and sculptures by various artists from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Visitors to the museum can explore the chapel and its collection on their own or take a guided tour to learn more about the history and significance of the artwork and artifacts on display. The museum is open to visitors year-round, but hours and admission fees may vary depending on the season.
