Itinerary
The National Archaeological Museum of Naples hosts one of the greatest collection of relics from the archaeological areas in Naples and surroundings. As you will see, most of the relics have been found during the excavation works in Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae, but some really interesting pieces of the collection also come from Bacoli, Cumae, Baia and the Flegreian fields area. On the top of that, the Museum also hosts a collection of Greek-Roman statues, a donation to the Museum by the Farnese family. Last but non the least, the Egyptian section has been lately re-opened to the visitors - a must-see that you cannot skip!

Traveler reviews
Excellent experience!
This was a wonderful tour. Our guide Anna is an expert in the archeological museum’s works of art. She brought everything to life for us. Additionally, she is highly organized and structured our tour so that it fit perfectly with the previous day’s visit to Pompeii. You could never have the experience we had with the head set. Take this tour!
Great museum of art and artifacts from many ages
We had been to Pompeii and this museum had many of the artifacts from Pompeii and other precious historic and ages prior to the tragedy in Pompeii.
Breathtaking
For me, it is one of the most beautiful museums in the world. You must visit it because the exhibits are beyond wonderful before going to Pompeii or Herculaneum.
Not to be missed
I chose to visit it after having been to the excavations of Pompeii to admire the mosaics, frescoes and furnishings from that site. I highly recommend it.
Exceptional museum
As I said in my previous comment it is worth a visit, it has so many sculptures, collected most of Pompeii and Ercolano.
