The Royal Vesuvius Observatory, founded in 1841, has been a popular destination for Italian and foreign scholars. The elegant Bourbon building is now a place set aside for the display of valuable mineralogical, instrumental and artistic collections and a rich historical library. Expert guides lead visitors through a fascinating journey into the world of volcanoes. The various types of eruptions and their dangers are described, leading up to real-time monitoring achieved through surveillance systems. The museum houses ancient scientific instruments used by scientists and researchers over the centuries, some of which are of exceptional historical importance, such as Luigi Palmieri's electromagnetic seismograph from 1856.
