Check ticket availabilityWhy photography is banned
The chapel is small, busy and full of fragile works; allowing photos would slow the flow of visitors and risk flash damage. The museum is consistent about it — you’ll be asked to put your phone away as you enter, and there are no exceptions for the Veiled Christ.
What to do instead
Just look — it’s a rare chance to experience a masterpiece without a screen between you and it, and the realism of the veil really only lands in person. For images to take home, the museum’s official site (museosansevero.it) has high-quality photographs. You can freely photograph the old-town streets outside on a walking tour.
