The MANN is particularly important for visitors to **Pompeii and Herculaneum** because many of the finest objects discovered during the excavations of the Vesuvian cities are now preserved in Naples. Walking through the museum allows you to see original mosaics, frescoes, sculptures and everyday objects that once decorated Roman houses, gardens and public buildings. For this reason, visiting the MANN before or after Pompeii provides valuable context and helps bring the ancient city to life. ## What to see at the MANN ### The Farnese Collection The Farnese Collection contains some of the most famous ancient sculptures in the museum. Highlights include the monumental **Farnese Bull**, the **Farnese Hercules** and the Farnese Atlas. ### Pompeii mosaics The museum preserves an extraordinary collection of mosaics from Pompeii and other Vesuvian sites. Among the most famous works is the **Alexander Mosaic**, discovered in the House of the Faun at Pompeii. Because major archaeological objects periodically undergo conservation and restoration, individual works may not always be displayed in their usual location. ### Frescoes from Pompeii and Herculaneum The fresco collection contains numerous original Roman wall paintings removed from houses and buildings excavated at Pompeii, Herculaneum and other sites around Mount Vesuvius. Seeing the original paintings at the museum is an excellent complement to visiting the archaeological sites themselves. ### The Secret Cabinet The famous **Secret Cabinet** contains erotic art and objects mainly recovered during the excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Access to individual museum galleries can occasionally be restricted for organisational or conservation reasons. ### Egyptian Collection The MANN also houses an important collection of Egyptian antiquities, reflecting the long history of collecting and archaeological research in Naples. ## How long should you spend at the museum? Allow at least **2 to 3 hours** to see the main collections. Visitors with a particular interest in Pompeii, Herculaneum or classical archaeology can easily spend half a day inside the museum. ## Opening hours The National Archaeological Museum of Naples is normally open: **9:00 am – 7:30 pm** Last admission is at **6:30 pm** and gallery clearing begins at 7:00 pm. The museum is normally **closed on Tuesdays**. When a public holiday falls on a Tuesday, the museum may open exceptionally and move its weekly closing day to the following Wednesday. ## Official museum admission price The standard adult admission ticket sold directly by the National Archaeological Museum currently costs **€20**. Reduced €2 admission is available to eligible visitors aged 18–25, while visitors under 18 and other eligible categories can enter free of charge. The online offer linked from this page can have a different price because it is sold through an external booking platform and includes additional services. ## Temporary exhibitions General museum admission also includes access to temporary exhibitions, unless otherwise stated for a particular event. Until **31 August 2026**, the MANN is hosting **“Parthenope. The Siren and the City”**, an exhibition exploring the myth of the siren and its connection with the history of Naples. ## Check which galleries are open Individual galleries may occasionally operate on reduced schedules or close temporarily because of staffing, maintenance or conservation requirements. If seeing a particular collection is especially important to you, check the museum's current gallery-opening schedule before your visit. ## Where is the National Archaeological Museum? The museum is located at: **Piazza Museo 19 80135 Naples** It is easy to reach by public transport: - **Metro Line 1:** Museo station - **Metro Line 2:** Piazza Cavour station The museum is also within walking distance of the historic centre of Naples. ## Entry ticket or guided tour? Choose the **entry ticket** if you prefer to explore independently and spend as much time as you like in the collections that interest you most. If you would rather understand the historical context of the objects, particularly those from Pompeii and Herculaneum, a guided tour with an archaeologist may be a better option. **[Discover the guided tour of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples](https://www.pompeionline.net/en/naples-tickets/national-archaeological-museum-of-naples-guided-tour)** ## Cancellation and rescheduling The Tiqets offer linked from this page currently allows cancellation until **11:59 pm on the day before your visit**.
