Introduction

The National Archaeological Museum is one of the most important temples of ancient Roman treasures. Rich with artifacts from Pompeii and classical sculpture, it is a treasure house to deeply understand Roman civilization, a precious sight in Naples. The Naples National Archaeological Museum is one of Italy's and the world's most important archaeological museums, especially famed for its unparalleled Roman collection. Its most precious holdings come from the buried cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum near Vesuvius: because these artifacts were moved here, the museum is the perfect complement to Pompeii for understanding Roman life. It displays large, vivid Pompeian frescoes and mosaics (like the famous Alexander Mosaic), fine classical sculptures (the Farnese Hercules, Farnese Bull), gold, silver, glass and daily objects, all treasures of classical civilization. Visiting the museum plus Pompeii gives a complete picture of Roman civilization. Visiting Naples and wandering this archaeological museum to see Roman treasures is a precious sight.
