Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli

Arrive at Naples National Archeological Museum, that houses one of the world’s finest collections of Greek-Roman artefacts. Charles III of Spain founded the museum in the mid-18th century. The building housing the museum at that time had been erected as a horses barracks and at one point was the seat of the University of Naples (1616 to 1777). It hosts extensive collections of Greek and Roman antiquities. See the museum’s best-known collections as well as new displays like the history of coins and the celebrated Secret Cabinet, the repository of obscene artefacts illustrating the erotic side ancient Romans' life. See antiques from Herculaneum, Pompeii, Naples, and Santa Maria Capua Vetere on the ground floor. Next, view the Farnese Collection, with wonderful Toro Farnese and Ercole Farnese. Observe mosaics from Pompeii. See the Gabinetto Segreto, with erotic roman artefacts.

Olivio was a knowledgeable and friendly guide and answered all my questions with animation and patience. I can’t begin to say how memorable this tour was.

We spent 2 hours with Raffaele this morning in the Archeological Museum of Naples and at our request focusing mainly on the Vesuvian artefacts from Pompei and Herculaneum. He has a very good command of the English language and a great depth of knowledge. He communicates it in a very clear and interesting way. His enthusiasm for his subject is infectious and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him in the museum. He is a really nice guy and will be back for another tour next year as he has shown us how much more there is to see (with a guide) and understanding the back story which is not obvious.

It was fascinating to hear and see some of the history of Pompeii and Herculaneum brought to life by Teresa, our guide. She made the time fly by with her wonderful knowledge and story-telling. And we very much appreciated her tips for lunch spots afterwards, along with some special things to find in Napoli.

Museo imprescindible si visitas Nápoles, que complementa perfectamente las visitas a Pompeya, Erculano, Oplontis... Contiene la colección de escultura romana de la familia Farnese, a destacar el toro Farnese. Allí están la gran mayoría de frescos, mosaicos y esculturas de Pompeya. Cuando fuimos el mosaico de Alejandro y Darío estaba en restauración y no pudimos verlo (sept 2021). Vale muchísimo la pena porque toda la colección es espectacular, y te ayuda a recomponer un poco como debían ser los yacimientos.

Raffaele è una guida eccellente e offre una visita guidata ricca di cultura e passione per l'arte e l'archeologia. Conosce numerosi aneddoti su Napoli e sulla storia partenopea. È stato un vero piacere.
