Sansevero Chapel Museum, Chapel and museum in historic Naples, Italy
The Sansevero Chapel Museum exhibits marble sculptures, paintings, and decorative arts within a Baroque architectural space dating from the 16th century.
John Francesco di Sangro established the chapel in 1590 after recovering from illness, and it transformed into a family burial chapel under Alessandro di Sangro in 1613.
The collection includes thirty works of art, with Giuseppe Sanmartino's Veiled Christ from 1753 demonstrating exceptional marble carving techniques.
The museum opens Monday and Wednesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, offering audio guides and special accommodations for visitors with visual impairments.
The basement contains anatomical machines featuring skeletons with artificial circulatory systems made from beeswax, iron wire, and silk from the 1760s.
