The National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN) is one of the most prestigious and treasure-filled museums in the world, home to masterpieces that span thousands of years of human history. With your private, licensed archaeologist guide, you will explore this unparalleled collection, delving deep into the stories, artistry and cultures that shaped the ancient world.
Your journey begins with the epic narrative of the Battle of Issus, immortalized in the legendary mosaic portraying Alexander the Great in the heat of combat. As you move through the galleries, you will encounter Pompeii frescoes whose vibrant colors have defied the centuries, intricate mosaics that once adorned Roman villas and monumental marble sculptures from the iconic Farnese Collection, like the Farnese Bull or the Hercules.
The museum also houses an extraordinary section dedicated to Pompeii and Herculaneum antiquities, where artifacts recovered from ongoing excavations shed new light on daily life in the ancient cities buried by Vesuvius in 79 AD. From delicate jewelry and glassware to grand statues and inscriptions, every object is a silent witness to history.
Whether you are a passionate scholar or simply curious about the past, this guided tour will transform the MANN from a gallery of artifacts into a vivid stage where ancient civilizations come to life. Without our expert guidance, you might only see objects; with us, you will understand their stories.
