Large, breathtaking museum. One of the best ones I've been to in Italy. A must go when you're in Naples. Has 2 floors filled to the brim with paintings and even medieval knight armour. Besides, if you're tired from the experiences, a wonderful cafe on the first floor offers delicious coffee, pastries and even salads.

Very interesting art exhibition with some incredible Carravaggio's. It's definitely worth seeing. If the weather is good, you could make a day of it with a picnic in the garden , which is elegantly laid out.

The museum currently has some renovations going on in the courtyard but the exhibits aren't affected. Interesting collection of pieces from Neapolitan churches from 14th century onwards, it was fascinating to see the progression of artistic style in such grand pieces. The collection on the first floor incorporates more varied subjects and styles.

Lovely museum. Caravaggio alone is worth seeing. There is also tons of artists that were inspired & worked w/ him similar style on display. Lovely bar there as well were we had espresso & lunch. It's a bit out of the city but worth the taxi ride 100%

Construction and Exhibit closures, and 3rd floor closed during our visit....but thoroughly enjoyed what we were able to see.

At the moment at least, visit the second floor first, it closes at five o'clock! As the museum is open until half past seven, that leaves you more than enough time for the first floor. I did it wrong...

You may want to hold off on visiting the museum until they finish the work they’re doing to protect the paintings. At least five rooms of paintings have them all covered with plastic. Then there’s another two rooms with the paintings missing for restoration. Also, I made the mistake of going on a Sunday. On Sundays and holidays, you cannot visit the first floor, and only the second floor is available to visit. Even so they’re still charging the full price €15.
