EasyTicket National Archaeological Museum of Naples
📍 Italy Naples 무세오
The National Archaeological Museum of Naples is a key museum to include in Naples if you want to see artifacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum. Its Farnese sculptures and mosaic collections are extensive, so it's worth setting viewing goals in advance.
If you plan to visit the Pompeii ruins separately, placing the museum before or after it helps the artifacts and the site connect with each other.

Useful tips
- Even just the major collections take time, so it's best to allow at least 2 hours.
- Check the official page for closing days and special-exhibition schedules.
- Looking through the exhibition list, the collection range is broad, so choosing ahead of time whether to connect it with the Pompeii ruins or focus on sculpture should make even a short visit feel less scattered.
- The official site posts temporary gallery closures and reopening schedules separately, so if there's a collection you really want to see, check what's open right before you go.
Frequently asked questions
Is it better to visit before or after going to Pompeii?
Both work. Seeing the artifacts first makes the site easier to understand, while visiting afterward helps connect your memories of the site with the displays.
Which collections should I prioritize?
The official exhibition guide introduces the Farnese Collection; mosaics and everyday objects from Pompeii, Herculaneum, and other Vesuvian-area sites; and the Egyptian Collection. Pick your main interests first and the visit will be easier to manage.
