About this activity

A visit to the Domus Aurea is a unique experience thanks to a site-specific project which enhances the experience with multimedia installations such as the videomapping of large surfaces.

A unique experience that will take you into the heart of a genuine archaeological dig where you can observe the recovery and restoration phases ‘live’ and at the same time relive the dreams of a somewhat “extravagant” emperor.
