An easy to miss highlight of any visit to Herculaneum. The museum is virtual so an up to date smart phone is needed. You will need to download their app and log into the wi-fi. Once that is done, you are underway. The tour starts with a 3-D film about the volcano and how the eruption covered the two towns. After that you go downstairs and each section you can interact with using your phone. There is a nice drone sequence of the Roman town using a games controller. There is another area where they have linked up different names to the images found in the ruins, and you can find out about the people on a personal level. It is well worth a visit when you come to see Herculaneum. In fact you have to pass it from the train station. The gift shop is aimed at children more than Herculaneum with rubbers, pens, pencils and imitation coins. The cafe is great and it is very cheap. Don't miss it.

The idea is very good with films that show not only reconstructions from Herculanum, but also from Pompeii. I don't really understand why the watch-like thing one is given is necessary, as it is only used three times. There are additional texts in several places and some texts only in Italian. Some of the films felt a bit like: see what we can do with a computer. And please, let somebody translate the English texts again. Some of them were so bad, that they were meaningless. Go there before you visit the excavation.

This is a great way to appreciate what you see at Pompei and Herculaneum by the recreation of certain places in both sites. Don’t expect mind blowing quality in the visuals, but the effects are interesting as are the objects and stories selected. The watch to activate some of the displays in your own language is a good idea too. Glasses for the 3D film at the end. People mentioned the grumpy staff, well he’s still there. We went after Herculaneum and before Pompeii and it certainly helped us appreciate it even more.

Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the Money

We had high expectations for MAV – Museo Archeologico Virtuale, but unfortunately, we were deeply disappointed. Right at the entrance, we were met by a staff member who seemed both grumpy and completely uninterested. No smile, no information – just the feeling that we were a bother.

To visit the museum, you had to download an app, which was difficult to install and only worked partially. Several of the interactive exhibits were out of order or didn’t work properly. What should have been an exciting and educational experience ended up being both frustrating and boring.

The place feels dull, worn-out, and neglected – as if it’s on the verge of shutting down. The exhibitions are outdated, the technology is unreliable, and there’s a complete lack of energy and enthusiasm.

Overall, it was a flat experience and a waste of money. MAV has potential, but in its current state, I can’t recommend visiting. You're better off going straight to the Herculaneum ruins – they’re much more interesting and well...

LA PRIMA COSA SE AVETE UN MODELLO DI CELLULARE ANDROID CHIEDETE SE HANNO RIPARATO IL GUASTO. DI SEGUITO SPIEGO IL PERCHÉ: Ci sono stato domenica scorsa, consigliato dagli addetti degli scavi di Ercolano. Do due stelle perché l'idea è molto buona e accattivante il costo del biglietto è fattibile 11 euro se volete vedere il filmato in 3d costa 12 euro (ve lo consiglio) il personale molto cortese ma scaltro. Il museo è un polo abbastanza avanzato sulla carta le installazioni sono abbastanza scenografiche ed a un primo impatto devo essere sincero mi è piaciuto tantissimo bellissimo il video 3d sulle spiegazioni del Vesuvio. Poi entri dentro e malgrado l'impatto e la potenzialità poi non funziona praticamente nulla. Solo la prima istallazione funziona correttamente le altre no. In teoria il museo funziona cosi. Ci si avvicina all'installazione appoggi il cellulare, sul simbolo del wi fi è ti parte un pezzo audio. Questo modello non funziona per nessuna istallazione Android. Eccezione fatta per la prima dove erocole ci introduce alla visita al museo. Come sempre accade in Italia ci hanno messo una pezza grazie infatti all'app del museo questo è aggirabile. Grazie infatti alla prima schermata dell'app le tracce audio le recuperi. Più avanti avrete un stazione con joypad x box. Simula un drone Che vi farà viaggiare per tutta Ercolano scavi. Anche questa merita la sufficienza. Il pad sembra. Nuovo ma non risponde a tutti comandi perché è rotto. Però alla fine come idea è carina. Andiamo più avanti trovate delle riproduzioni olografiche. Mezzi schermi non funzionati l'unico che funziona e vaso. Queste istallazioni hanno il simbolo del Wi-Fi che su ANDROID NON FUNZIONA. In questo scordatevi di trovare i file audio nell app. Veniamo alla parte fantascientifica la realtà simulata. Entri nell' app nella apposita sezione inquadri delle istallazioni e dovrebbero muoversi fare qualcosa o dire qualcosa non si sa perché nessuna di queste funziona manco il QR CODE FUNZIONA!!!!!!!! concludiamo la visita con una nota positiva. La visita alla villa dei papiri è un istallazione molto interessante anche questa in realtà aumentata vi permette di interagire viaggiando per il cortile della villa. Sullo stesso modello ci sarebbe dovuta essere un altra istallazione simile ma non funziona manco quella. Di fatto un museo a metà concludo la visita è riferisco ai commessi della biglietteria. Che le istallazioni non funzionano ohi bho lo sapevano. Come giustificazione asseriscono che sono a conoscenza del problema e che il malfunzionamento avviene solo con Android. Replico molto educatamente che all'interno del museo anche i visitatori con I-PHONE quindi IOS AVEVANO I MIEI STESSI PROBLEMI. In pratica una mezza truffa perché gli addetti dovrebbero o munirsi cellurare propri del museo, affinché ANCHE chi ha cellulari poco potenti possono godere dell'esperienza. Vista la mia esperienza in altri musei però ho la netta sensazione, che ciò non venga fatta di proposito perché hanno dismesso le licenze. Visita effettuata...

My mother and I were quite excited to get immersed in the life of Ercolano inhabitants before the eruption of the mount Vesuvius. How disappointed we were! The staff was really grumpy and not helpful at all. They even closed some of the animations before the official closure without telling us. To make the most out of it I would recommend to go early and after the actual visit of the Ercolano site as it's quite nice to relate to the ruins you saw and the videos in the MAV of how it was before. Overall the virtuality is not well done. You first get 20 minutes of 4d cinema which is poorly done in terms of the quality of the image and effects. You don't really get neither the story of what happened to the site it's just the geological process that led to the eruption. After that you go to different rooms with videos of how the main places of Ercolano and Pompeii looked like before and after the...
