Philip Colbert in Pompeii: Pop Mythology
Pompei (NA)
From July 27 to November 30, 2026, the Archaeological Park of Pompeii and the sites of Greater Pompeii host 'Philip Colbert in Pompeii: Pop Mythology', a widespread exhibition that brings the pop imagery of British artist Philip Colbert among the most famous excavations in the world. Thirty imposing lobster-shaped sculptures, the iconic alter ego of the artist, invade the Forum, the domus, the Temple of Isis and other spaces of the park, creating a visual short circuit between the contemporary mythology of consumption and the myths of Roman antiquity. The garish colors and playful forms of Colbert's creatures stand out against the millennia-old ruins, inviting reflection on the eternal tension between sacred and profane, art and commodity. The exhibition also touches Oplontis, Stabiae and the Antiquarium of Boscoreale, transforming the entire archaeological area into an open-air museum where contemporary art dialogues without mediation with history.
Pompei di sera 2026
Pompei (NA)
From Friday 28 August to Saturday 10 October 2026, the Archaeological Park of Pompeii extends its opening hours at night every weekend. The initiative, part of the Serate della Grande Pompei programme, allows visitors to explore the excavations in the evening, when the summer heat eases and the flow of visitors thins out. The ruins of houses, temples and streets of the ancient Roman city are illuminated by a lighting system designed to enhance architectural details and create a timeless atmosphere. Walking along the Forum or observing the casts of the eruption victims under the moonlight offers a different, more intimate and contemplative perspective compared to a daytime visit.
