From Monday February 8th use your smartphone as an audio guide

From Monday February 8th it will be possible to visit the Museo Egizio guided by the voices of the director Christian Greco and of the curators, thanks to the new QR codes that will be placed in the museum's rooms. Just frame them with your smartphone and listen to a general introduction at the beginning of each room and to special insights in correspondence with some significant objects: descriptions, stories and insights thanks to which the public will have a multimedia audio guide, to be enjoyed independently and in all safety.

In the meantime, online bookings for the week from February 8th to February 12th are open on the Museum's website: opening hours will remain unchanged (Monday 9-14, Tuesday to Friday 9-18.30, with last admission one hour before closing), with new ticket fares. The admission price is 12 euros, with a reduced ticket at 10 euros; students from 15 to 18 years old and university students can purchase a special ticket for 2 euros, while a special Reduced Junoir ticket (1 uero) is dedicated to the age group 6-14 years. Moreover, a Family Ticket is dedicated to families of two adults and two minors, at a cost of 24 euros. In compliance with safety requirements, group guided tours will be limited to the participation of a maximum of 15 people with two possible tour options: one of 50 minutes for 40 euros and the other of 90 minutes for 70 euros, both available online.

These fares, still discounted compared to those in force prior to the measures to contain the contagion from Covid-19, compensate for some measures to protect visitors which provide for the temporary suspension of services such as audio guides and cloakrooms. The Museum Shop instead is regularly active, as well as the cafeteria located at the first floor.
