Pompeii, Children museum to open in 2024. Space for historical reenactments and large evening events

Pompeii Archaeological Park ended 2023 with more than 4 million visitors, and now, stresses director Gabriel Zuchtriegel, “it’s time to diversify the activities and visit offerings, taking into account the characteristics of a diverse audience in terms of age groups, interest and sensibilities.” “This year’s priorities,” he says, “are to protect the intimacy of an experience that is great precisely because it makes us see the small things of ancient life and to enhance the offerings for girls and children who come to Pompeii. We can learn from the little ones how to see the world with ever new eyes and rediscover our inner child.”

Indeed, for 2024, the Park has family-friendly initiatives planned, from dedicated spaces such as a Children Museum, to historical re-enactments, but also to the enhancement of Greater Pompeii sites, such as the upcoming reopening of the expanded Libero D’Orsi Archaeological Museum. A new educational center for children, the Children museum, will open, run under a partnership arrangement with workshops and spaces where children can be entertained even while their parents enjoy their visit; the tender to entrust the service is being finalized these days.

“We will work on re-enactments, content and routes to tell the whole family about the ancient city. And we will continue to invest in the seemingly small realities outside the ancient city that are, however, part of the Greater Pompeii, that large widespread park that includes Boscoreale, Castellammare di Stabia, Torre Annunziata, Terzigno, Lettere and Poggiomarino. There is a part of Pompeii’s history there waiting to be discovered, which will also help us better channel the flows that are constantly growing,” Zuchtriegel concludes.

There will also be no shortage of major evening events at the Park, which, in addition to the night walks, will split into two dedicated and organic reviews this year. One of dramaturgy at the Teatro grande, where the well-established appointment with Pompeii Theatrum Mundi is confirmed, and the other a musical kermesse with artists from the international scene at the Amphitheater.
