Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli, Naples

An amazing museum, which contains ancient roman statues, artifacts from Greek settlements in the South of Italy and a ton of frescoes from Pompeii. Frescoes are truly amazing (including the erotic ones) and give you a very different perspective on the ancient life. If you want to learn about history this museum is an absolute must see when in Naples

First of all, the entry fee is really expensive. The full price is 18 €. I had the ticket with discount so I only had to pay 2 euros. The gap between these prices is insane. The museum itself was okay. The first floor is amazing. The statues are stunning. On the second floor you can find a stunning hall with ceiling paintings. During our visit the hall was completely empty. I suppose there are temporary exhibitions there. Bummer that we missed out on that. It’s a shame the exhibition rooms are a little bit run down. There’s no attention to detail. The curtains were really messy. There were also paintings behind some statues which isn’t nice to look at (as seen in my last picture). The bathrooms were smelly and were not in good conditions.

When you come to Naples this is one of the most see places. What are the Collections themselves are extremely impressive the palace that houses it surpasses even the Louvre. Take your time as you walk through history and see the most impressive Roman and Greek artifacts in the world. Rainy days should make you excited to see this is exquisite museum. Enjoy you time and have a drink at this museum as you see the ancient world.

Nice museum with a variety of displays. The highlights are the mosaics and the statues. However some displays were closed for renovations and the building itself could do with renovations as well. Tickets are €15 for a single or €26 for a group of two and can be bought from the ticket office. EU student discount is also available.

We heard about the 1st Sunday of the Month free pass for museums and we choose this museum because of the vast history. The sculptures are well maintained there's enough space to explore the history artifacts and plenty to see as well. They even have hieroglyphs from Egypt. Its was a great visit.
