An amazing collection of artefacts from prehistoric, through ancient Greek and Roman to the installation of modern-day art exhibitions influenced by the collection. Originally a noble family's collection that became state owned. Superb sculptures, frescoes, erotica, mosaics, coins, and everyday objects. Much of it comes from Pompeii and gives a real feel for what life was like prior to Vesuvius erupting. You will need a few hours to see everything. There is a cafe and cool central gardens in which to sit if you need a break.
