Explore the National Archaeological Museum of Naples

We will meet at the entrance of the museum. The National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN) is probably the most important museum for Roman archaeology. It was founded in the 18th century by the Bourbon king Ferdinand IV to house the astonishing collection of Roman ancient statuary he inherited from the Farnese family, along with all the treasures from the unearthed cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
A large part of the collections of the Naples Museum comes from the Campania area in Roman times, especially from the towns around Vesuvius.
Admire the stunning collection of artefacts, paintings, close-up details of mosaics, bronze statues, furnishings, and surprising household objects, including precious silver accessories, fine ceramic tableware, and personal ornaments.
