Description
Virtual reality tour of the Domus Aurea restoration site.
The restoration site of the Domus Aurea reopens with an enhanced tour, enriched with tools to aid the visit: special lighting effects at the most significant points along the route, illuminated reconstructive panels, videomapping of the entrance gallery and oculus that offer a reconstruction of the Sala della Volta dorta as it was at the time of Nero, for a completely immersive experience.
It is also possible, by looking towards the large opening to the south, to look outside, towards the luxurious gardens of the pavilion of Colle Oppio and in the distance towards the other monuments that made up the Domus Aurea.
The guided tour alternates with a multisensory experience.
