Impressive burial sites in a mysterious labyrinth tell you everything about life and death in ancient Rome.\r\n\r\nA guide will lead you through the underground passageways. Colorful wall paintings emerge in the candlelight, telling stories of the deceased as well as everyday life of the time. If you were wealthy in life, you were buried in an elaborate tomb chamber. The less fortunate rested in a niche in the wall.\r\n\r\nIn the museum\u2019s underground spaces, lectures, exhibitions, and festivals are also organized. There you can see, hear, feel, smell, and taste how relevant Roman life still is today. A visit to the catacombs, enclosed by marlstone and without sunlight or sound, is an experience in itself.","slideshow":null,"ontdekken_video_box":{"ontdekken_video_titel":"","ontdekken_video_paragraaf":"","ontdekken_video_iframe":""},"ontdekken_360_box":{"ontdekken_360_titel":"","ontdekken_360_paragraaf":"","ontdekken_360_iframe":""},"doen":[{"item":"Join the guide in the dark labyrinth"},{"item":"Discover Roman life through the rituals of death"},{"item":"Visit an exhibition or take part in a workshop"},{"item":"Experience the endless darkness and the deafening silence"}],"weten":[{"vraag":"Burial and Cremation","antwoord":"Do you want to be buried or cremated?
