An absolute must-see in Naples. The archaeological museum is exceptionally rich: mosaics, statues, frescoes and objects from Pompeii and Herculaneum are simply impressive. Each room is fascinating and offers a better understanding of life in antiquity. The museum is vast, well-organized and well worth spending several hours in. A fascinating place for history buffs and curious visitors alike. I highly recommend it!

Why visit the National Archaeological Museum in Naples?

1/4

Remnants from the Campania and Vesuvian region

You can find a rich collection of Greek and Roman sculptures that have been collected from excavations at Pompeii, Herculaneum and other archaeological sites near Mount Vesuvius. It also showcases objects that demonstrate the socio-economic and cultural life of the Campanian region during Roman occupation in the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC.

Proximity to Pompeii and Herculaneum

Both Pompeii and Herculaneum are less than an hour away by drive from the Naples museum. Many tourists include these sites in their itinerary along with the museum, as coming from Pompeii and Herculaneum lends rich context to the artifacts on display here.

Home to the Farnese Collection

While all the collections in the museum are impressive, the Farnese Collection deserves special mention as it contains artifacts from Renaissance-era Italy. Curated by Alexander Farnese (who later went on to become Pope Paul III), his passion for collecting bronzes, busts and marble sculptures was carried on by his family members. King Charles Bourbon, who inherited the collection from his mother, the last descendent of the Farnese family, transferred the collection to the museum in Naples.

Exhibitions, research and opportunities for kids

MANN is a bustling cultural space that is constantly engaged with the wider public, be it through hosting or facilitating research projects, conducting periodic exhibitions or even organizing workshops for children.

Wednesday to Monday: 9am to 7:30pm

Closed: Tuesdays, December 25, January 1.

Best time to visit: Since the Naples museum is hugely popular, try to visit between Wednesday and Thursday, as soon as the museum opens for a quieter experience.
