A small museum in the Galleria Umberto I devoted to the art of coral and cameo carving, from the 19th century to today.

On the second floor of the main façade of the Galleria Umberto I hides a museum devoted to a precious tradition: coral carving. Through original documents and pieces made in Torre del Greco, the route tells the story of this craft from the 19th century up to modern and contemporary works.One section is dedicated to the art of the cameo, while another displays over 300 objects in coral, cameos and lava stone, from the early 19th century onwards. We recommend booking your visit, which takes place on request: it seems to us an original way to discover another side of the Galleria.
