I visited the Museo Archeologico Virtuale back in 2019. It's a fantastic concept, providing an interactive experience of what Herculaneum would’ve been like just before and during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Much of the exhibition are video experiences of the buildings showing what they would’ve looked like before the eruption, as well as on some of the archaeological artefacts. The experience ends with an all round cinematic experience of life in Herculaneum

The idea is very good with films that show not only reconstructions from Herculanum, but also from Pompeii. I don't really understand why the watch-like thing one is given is necessary, as it is only used three times. There are additional texts in several places and some texts only in Italian. Some of the films felt a bit like: see what we can do with a computer. And please, let somebody translate the English texts again. Some of them were so bad, that they were meaningless. Go there before you visit the excavation.

Interesting, especially appealing to kids (possibly except the lupanar :) Tip: getting the MAV tickets at the real archaeological site close-by (Ercolano Scavi, info desk at the entrance) gets you a small discount (8 instead of 10 at the MAV ticket office directly).

Interesting to see the images, but the WiFi connection didn't work for us so we missed pretty much all of the interaction. We went as I thought it would be great for the little one, but he was only interested in the plaster cast and the image of the beach. He did enjoy the film at the end though and I think it helped him understand what happened in Herculaneum and Pompeii.

This is a great way to appreciate what you see at Pompei and Herculaneum by the recreation of certain places in both sites. Don’t expect mind blowing quality in the visuals, but the effects are interesting as are the objects and stories selected. The watch to activate some of the displays in your own language is a good idea too. Glasses for the 3D film at the end. People mentioned the grumpy staff, well he’s still there. We went after Herculaneum and before Pompeii and it certainly helped us appreciate it even more.
