Cappella Sansevero tickets and practical visiting advice
The Veiled Christ draws most attention, but leave room in your visit for the sculptures around the chapel walls. Modesty and Disillusion offer different treatments of marble, from a thin veil to an intricate net. Looking at these before returning to the central sculpture gives the visit a clearer shape and helps you notice the different carving techniques.

Tips for your visit

Cappella Sansevero tickets and practical visiting advice
Is the Veiled Christ in a separate room?
The sculpture is in the main chapel. Plan to look around the surrounding monuments as part of the same visit.
Can I take photographs inside?
No. Photography is not allowed inside the museum, so plan to study the sculptures without using your phone camera.
Does a guided walk include chapel admission?
Check the booking description carefully. A tour of the surrounding streets does not necessarily include a timed ticket for the chapel.
Can I change my entry time?
Check the conditions attached to your ticket before buying. Do not assume that staff can move a booking to another slot.
