About
Pick your favourite time to visit the Museum and meet our professional tour guide directly at the main entrance.
After an introductory explanation of the building - a former cavalry barrack - you will proceed toward the Mosaic collection at the first floor. The most famous piece here is the Alexander Mosaic, a huge representation of the battle between Alexander the Great and Darius III of Persia.
At the Ground floor you will discover the Farnese Collection and its marvelous marbles, especially the Farnese Hercules and the Farnese Bull were both originally hosted at the Baths of Caracalla and they are among the most impressive you will come across.
Don’t miss the the Bronzes from the Villa of the Papyri and, if you are lucky enough to find the sections open, the Secret Cabinet - hosting erotic and sexual items - and the Egyption Collection surely worth the visit!

Great collection and artefacts, but not well arranged. Audio-guide isn't worth it, there is little information only for some artefacts. Signs are too small to read and you need to go really close. Check the most interesting parts first as the museum is too big and you will need the whole day to see it.

This is an extraordinary museum that is must for anyone interested in art and Italian history. We spent 3 hours but got hungry and left, but we all felt another hour would have been good. The building that houses the sculptures is beautiful. The sculptures and mosaic floors from Pompeii are a wonderful thing to see. The three of us felt this visit was a highlight of our three weeks in southern Italy.

All the treasures of Magna Graecia and Herculaneum and Pompeii in one place. The Pompeian frescoes and mosaics are unmissable, the Farnese sections and the one dedicated to Alexander the Great are impressive. All in a building that alone deserves it anyway.
Peaceful visit, free from obligatory routes; large spaces and seats for breaks or to admire the main works.
You can easily get to the Museo stop with metro 1, which ends practically below.

The museum is really interesting, but it is poorly maintained. For an entrance fee of 22 euros you would expect at least a decend toilet..

The Archeological Museum is a must see. The displays are well organized and described in Italian and in English. There are statues and frescoes from Roman times as well as everyday items, jewelry, pottery, medical instruments etc. One wing is dedicated to mosaics and paintings from Pompeii. On the top floor ancient artifacts are displayed. There is a nice courtyard and also a cafe, stand up and with sit down service. A bookshop sells great books, Roman History for example.

This is one of the best archaeological museums in the world. Not only does it have all the goodies from Pompeii, but it also has the amazing Farnese Collection from Rome. I pre-booked tickets online fearing a traffic jam at the entrance, but there weren't that many people waiting in line. I arrived early to my prebooked time, and it didn't seem to matter--they let me in. They have a nice coat check option which is free, and you can deposit your backpack or umbrella or what have you so you can proceed unencumbered. The museum is rather old-school in its presentation, although most of the signage is in Italian and English, so you don't really miss out. We ate lunch at the museum cafe, and that was good--although the menu is hardly extensive. Currently the great mosaic of the Battle of Issus is under restoration and will not be viewable for about two years. Other than that, the other gems in the museum: the Spear Bearer, the Roman paintings, the Farnese Hercules and Farnese Bull, are all viewable. You'll have a great time if you go.
