Top things to do in Naples

The National Archaeological Museum of Naples, or Museo archeologico Nazionale di Napoli (MANN) is a treasure trove of art and artifacts from the Vesuvian area and wider Campania region. The museum boasts an eclectic variety of objects, ranging across remnants salvaged from Pompeii and Herculaneum, coins, precious gems and even housing an expansive collection of Egyptian items.

If you're in Naples, this museum should definitely be on your agenda. Here's your guide to ticket options, bookmarking what to see inside, and tips for planning a memorable visit.

Why visit the National Archaeological Museum in Naples?

Pompeii and Herculaneum
Farnese Atlas
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
