The mighty Hercules was too busy to stand in long queues. So why should you be any different? Grab a ticket to the National Archaeological Museum of Naples and discover a treasure trove of ancient wonders that would make Pandora's box the envy! See stunning statues and frescoes from antiquity depicting mythical heroes and legends, marvel at the mosaics, bronzes and stained glass windows, ceramics, and engraved copper from Pompeii, classical Greece, Egypt, Rome, and more.

See the museum's macabre centerpiece: the iconic Farnese Bull. It is the oldest sculpture ever found from antiquity depicting the myth of Dirce, who was tied to the horns of a bull by his brothers as a cruel form of punishment.

Strike a pose with the mighty Hercules Farnese flexing his demigod muscles, and turn a thought to poor old Atlas who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders.

The Farnese Atlas is the oldest existing statue of the great titan, as well as the oldest known and existing representation of the celestial sphere. It is therefore a unique piece of human history, truly unmissable.

Scour a magnificent collection of charred artifacts from Pompeii, relics, and epigraphs from Ancient Egypt, Rome, and beyond.
