See A virtual model of the Villa dei Papiri by Mantha Zarmakoupi on the Getty.
Named after the collection of papyrus scrolls found on its premises, the Villa dei Papiri is famous for inspiring the design for the Getty Villa, though the Getty Villa’s ground plan is adapted to its narrow canyon site.
The VR model incorporates data from both past and recent excavations and proposes a scientifically documented reconstruction, as opposed to commercial reconstructions that are influenced by the Getty Villa.
Mantha Zarmakoupi developed the model in discussion with the excavators of the site with the purpose of making it available as a research tool for archaeological excavation.
The Villa dei Papiri is located below ground level under layers of rock, and still has not been entirely excavated.

The Villa dei Papiri is famous for inspiring the design for the Getty Villa, though the Getty Villa’s ground plan is adapted to its narrow canyon site.
As the larger part of the villa is unexcavated, perhaps the best way we can currently show it is through the replica, the Getty Villa at Mailbu.
Wilhelmina and Stanley Jashemski took a number of photos of the villa at Malibu on a visit in 1982 that are shown here.
