I am an art enthusiast and have visited many of the worlds best Museums. Two of the statues in this museum are the best I have ever seen. It is a bit pricey for such a small museum, so if you'r not into art don't go, but if you are, don't miss it.
A private chapel house with almost thirty works of art, among which are three idiosyncratic sculptures, the best is Veiled Christ and the graffiti on the ceiling with many masonic meanings.The chapel also displays a basement used as a lab with creepy skeletons. The skeletons are encased in the hardened arteries and veins. Must see if in Naples, mind you tickets are not cheap and no photos inside the Chapel.
A must see while in Naples as it is abslolutly astonishing.When I was visiting it was closed on Tuesday.
The sculpture is really amazing. I could spend hours to look at details. The problem is the price, 7 Euro to get in and you are not even allowed to take pictures, I mean even without flash. To make sure you don't, they placed 5 staff in a 50 square meter room to check you,lol. Reason is simple they want to sell you their own pictures but they are so pricy that none is buying it. Lower the entrance fee at least.
First of all, I must say I am not a great art lover and don't normally go out of my way to visit the likes of galleries but the workmanship shown here blew my mind. The only thing is the price. 7 Euro for adults and 5 for kids is too much for something that takes roughly half an hour and you can't even take photos. Compare this with the likes of Pompeii where for 10 euro you get something which takes hours to see and is on a huge scale. Not what you would expect on what seems like a back alley. Worth seeing!
There are a number of outstanding statues in this small museum, which is tucked away so neatly you have to search carefully to find it. The Giuseppe Sanmartino statue of the veiled Christ is worth the entrance fee on its own. Shame you aren't allowed to take photos; I can't see what harm it would have done to a marble statue. If they're that uptight about things getting abused or damaged, they only have to look around the rest of the city!
If you are an art lover, than the entrance fee (7 euros) is well worth the price. You have to buy your tickets at the little shop across the street, which many people didn't know. They would only realize it after standing in line for a long period of time. After purchasing the tickets, we waited in line for about 20 minutes. The sculpture of the Veiled Christ is incredible and I am sooo glad I got to see it. The only thing I did not like is the fact that there is no order to managing the crowd once inside the chapel. The Veiled Christ is surrounded by rope and people just stand around it and linger without moving. Which is easy to do because it takes your breath away, but it was very annoying to have to fight through a crowd to be able to see it. It would be so much better if there was a line that starts at one spot and then moves around the sculpture to an exit. There are other impressive sculptures in the chapel as well and an interesting history. But there's no guided tour - you'll need to bring your own tour book and read about it.
If you wanted to see just one thing in Napoli than this would be it. Amazing and astonishing. I can not imagine how the sculptures were made. Negative things: you are not allowed to take any photos but you can buy their pricy photos; ticket costs 7 euros. Tickets sold in a building across the street not in the church and it is small and crowded so take care of your wallets.
位置在古城区,礼拜堂很小,里面有3个雕塑堪称雕塑艺术的巅峰,不能用语言描述,如果你到那不勒斯千万不能错过,门票7欧元,真是贵啊,不过都花了那么多钱机票住宿了。30米内就是一个超级好的比萨店。
雕塑“迷雾之基督”(The veiled Christ)很值得一看,当然还有一些其他著名的雕塑作品。建议跟随导游游览,因为一个人的话得不到什么有价值的信息,也不能理解雕塑中的含义和背景知识。很棒!
