With the recent reopening of the Roman section at the National Archaeological Museum of Paestum, the Park has launched a new chapter in celebrating Paestum’s Roman heritage. A symbol of this renewed focus is the unveiling of the Neptune Mosaic, which had remained hidden beneath protective coverings for nearly twenty years.
This remarkable piece, a fine example of Roman mosaic art, has recently undergone a major restoration to ensure its conservation and structural stability. The work involved detaching and repositioning the mosaic onto a new artificial support, preventing further deterioration and allowing this masterpiece to be preserved for future generations.
Become a guardian of the past and help us protect the integrity of the Neptune Mosaic—an extraordinary artwork that continues to tell the story of Paestum through the centuries.
