The Secret Cabinet (Gabbinete) or Secret Room is the name of the Bourbon Monarchy gave the private rooms in which they held their fairly extensive collection of erotic or sexual items, mostly deriving from excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Limiting viewership and censorship have always been part of the history of the collection. The small group from the Villa dei Papiri, discovered in 1752, depicts the god Pan in the act of coupling with a goat. This was possibly the most censored work in the collection; only the king was permitted to see it before it was locked in a cupboard and hidden even from the eyes of Winckelman.
