Wooden furniture is rarely preserved in excavations of Roman sites. An exception is the material from Herculaneum. Usually, these items are not on display, but on the occasion of a new exhibit, we are now able to examine the world of carpentry through these objects of everyday life- and many other artifacts- rarely preserved from Antiquity. A truly unique collection of artwork from ancient Herculaneum.
