DO go to the archaeological museum in Naples BEFORE your day trip to Pompeii. But DO NOT go to the museum before first securing the guide services of Dr Pina Esposito! Our family of 4 were lucky enough to be greeted by Pina as we walked into the museum this past July. We weren't planning on having a tour guide,... more

A must do if your going to Pompeii, nearly all the orginals are here in all their glory. Bronzes in mint condtion, the original mosaics and frescoes, jewelry etc. OMG....see the museum and then leave naples asap. Pompeii looks like a pile of rockss after you see what the treasures they found. Make a day and half trip out of... more

The Naples National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli) is the crown jewel in this otherwise unremarkable city. Our Artecard got us into the museum for free. The Archeology Museum is kind of strange. It was undergoing some construction in early 2009 and it wasn’t organized very well (most of the descriptions were not posted and things were moved... more

First, get an Artcard pass.....a great value and free public transportation all in one. I went two times and still didnt feel that I covered it all. Then on to Herculaneum, just the right size and in amazing condition.....no crowds, no wild dogs, and perfect weather in Sept. Yes, Naples is dirty and the traffic is insane.....and I did have... more

It's an amazing museum ... I could have spent many more happy hours there if time had allowed me! Like the other reviews, I would also advise that you go to see Pompeii and Herculaneum first, to get a feel of the city before you explore this museum. Some of the museum was closed (I was unable to view the... more

Fantastic museum. If you are going to Pompeii I would go to Pompeii first as it is nice to know where the mosaics would have been when you see them. Metro line 2 = Piazza Cavour or line 1 = Mueseo stop. Very easy to get to and worth the visit if you are in Naples. more
