"Parthenope. The Siren and the city": the exhibition that tells the most authentic soul of Naples.

Naples is not just a city: it is a myth that spans through the centuries. And that myth has a name: Parthenope, the siren who, according to legend, gave birth to the city.

With the exhibition "Parthenope. The Siren and the city", Naples invites citizens and visitors to embark on an extraordinary journey through mythology, archaeology, art, and history, through over 250 works that narrate the evolution of the siren figure and the deep connection with the Neapolitan identity.

A journey between myth and history

The exhibition guides the visitor from ancient Greece to contemporary art, showing how Parthenope has become the immortal symbol of Naples.

Among the most fascinating works that can be admired are:

🏺 ancient archaeological finds from Neapolis;

🪙 precious coins from the Greek city;

✨ the evocative silver bust of Saint Patrizia, among the symbols of Neapolitan devotion;

🎨 a monumental installation by the artist Francisco Bosoletti, which engages with the myth through a contemporary language.

The new discoveries of ancient Neapolis

One of the most interesting aspects of the exhibition concerns the recent archaeological discoveries that emerged during the excavations of the Naples metro.

These findings are rewriting the history of ancient Neapolis and reveal a city still rich in secrets.

Among the most significant novelties stands out the discovery of the Sanctuary of the Isolympic Games, a testimony to the cult dedicated to Parthenope and the importance that the siren had in the religious and civil life of the city.

A museum that continues in the streets of Naples

The exhibition does not confine itself to exhibition spaces.

It actually invites visitors to continue the journey directly in the historic center, discovering the places that still preserve traces of the legend of Parthenope.

Walking through alleys, squares, and monuments, the boundary between myth and reality seems to disappear, making Naples a unique city in the world.
