Neapolitan Nativity at The Faith Museum

About

Our monumental Neapolitan Nativity scene has to be seen to be believed.

Be dazzled by our monumental 18th-century Neapolitan Nativity scene. This remarkable Baroque créche, known in Italian as a presepe, is a giant Nativity scene staged in a true-life Neapolitan setting. Measuring a remarkable 11ft tall and 15ft wide, it is one of the most impressive and important examples outside Italy and brings together classical and Christian mythology with the traditional folk culture of everyday Naples. Over 421 individually carved figures make up the full nativity scene.

The Neapolitan Nativity is included as part of the Christmas at the Palace experience, with free entry for Unlimited Pass members.
