The Naples museum is absolutely fantastic. I was floored by seeing some of the mosaics I had seen in s many books and discovering how small some of them were. On the other hand, the Alexander Mosaic is even bigger than I had expected. The collection from Pompeii makes this museum a must-see for anyone interested in that site. I personally was blown away by the bronze water valves on display. Mundane items in most people eyes but pieces that speak to a high level of manufacturing skill. I need to go back and spend all day.

One of the most amazing museums in the world! A must see!

It’s kind of strange…I’ve been there several times, but there is always something which I’ve missed. A spectacular museum, one of the best, if not the best(!) and I really hope, for humanity, that they have a plan B for the future, if the mountain in the region awakens again. Thanks for a very good video! I’ll have to go there again, for sure.

The quality of your images makes me very happy. A dutch historian who is fascinated by the Roman Empire.

We just visited this museum in May and it was so wonderful to get an explanation of what we saw while there. I don’t think I realized so many of the pieces in the museum were taken from Pompeii and Herculaneum. Wonderful museum and well worth the visit.

I visited this museum in March with a guided tour and I was amazed that it is beautiful, you enter history 2000 years ago and it is incredible how many artifacts have come down to today in perfect condition.

European art is great! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I so want to visit that museum. I would be entranced for weeks. So amazing. 😮

I have been fortunate to visit the museum twice. Your tour has added immensely to my experience l thank you.

I was there in 2015. The Alexander mosaic blew me away.

thank you for introducing me to the Naples museum. fantastic art I wouldn't otherwise be able to see (other than photos).

Yippee! On the level of the Bayreuth Tapestry. Extroardinary.

I’ve been to Capri three times and Positano once. Each of those visits, this museum was on my list of things to do. I still haven’t made it! I won’t miss it again. Incredible.

Revelatory! My parents took me to Pompei as a teen, but never the Museum, and even then I'd rather it had been the other way around. You completed one of my life's adventures, I'll be following up with research.... You work brings spectacular worth to share with us! Mille grazie Signore! Veramente!

Great video! I've been to Rome but never to southern Italy, and have always been fascinated by ancient, especially Roman, history. The statues are so amazing, though odd in a way with all the naked men and mostly covered up women. Our modern American culture is much the opposite! As an animal artist, I loved the life sized bronze horses. Stunning!

I loved that museum when I visited it two years ago. More reasons to come back NICE! Now I am moving to Florence for an year soon, and boy I will be back in force to revisit as much as possible the greater Naples area. I love that place.

Unbelievable that all of this has survived to this day. But what has been lost? Probably so very much more. Thanks for a most enjoyable video.

I want to go back to this Museum

Outstanding. Those statues clearly show that "all men are NOT created equal!"

Esse museu de Nápolis é uma maravilha Sou fascinado por arte greco romana

Darius,thanks for awsome information of this superb museum,a must see at Naples .Grazie.

Amazing and wonderful! We can step back in time.

Amazing place could not believe the beauty of what I was seeing

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. Wow Darius: you outdid yourself. (Now I have to bite the bullet and visit Florence!!) i have always been concerned about security and crime there

This museum is amazing!! I have been obsessed with going to Pompeii once I saw a documentary about it. This spring I have finally visited Pompeii, and was a bit upset to find out most of its valuable mosaics and exhibits have been transferred to the Napoli museum. So for those planning of going to Pompeii, keep this in mind, and allocate an extra day for Napoli. Also, one day in the ancient city is not enough if you are planning to visit all of its famous villas and sights.

Great museum, best news, more visits in the future

Thank you very much for sharing this unique experience. The Naples Museum is without a doubt a gem. Western culture to its finest. I am in awe, the beauty in each peace of art is unbelievable. 👏Grazie Mille!

Lovely.

I practically lived in this amazing place when I was stationed in Bella Napoli with the Navy.

Πατριδα μου αγαπημενη!

I lived in Naples 1962 - 1964 and visited the museum several times. Sure has improved! Back then, there was no explanatory literature and identification signs were only in Italian.

This is one of the best KZfaq channels i ever found😍

Thanks, Darius. I'm excited to visit this museum in October.

This video kinda creates shiver down my spine, really amazing and astonishing. Great video, thank you

Thanks

Absolutely amazing, to see all of those beautiful things. Thank you for taking us there. ❤❤❤❤

Extraordinary!!!. Very beautiful things!!!. I will visit this place.

Fantastic video...loved it

It's great how he could be in a big room with only a few people. I remember when the Louvre was like that.

This looks like a must visit. I see a collection of keys. I believe the original key is still used on the ancient doors for Temple Romulo in the Roman forum. Have you ever seen it.

Thanks so much for this. The MANN is a bit overwhelming to visit so videos like these are more than welcome.

Cuanta belleza. Gracias por compartir

Great

I think that elaborate Vase shown at the beginning from magna grecia is the most famous valuable and sought after in history

Fantastic artwork and history.

fantastic. 👍😁

Excellent

Wow. Next time in in Campagna I will go

The moment i saw 5:50 minute first came to mind ROME! What a fantastic video, thank you very much.

Excellent ❤

Great video!

This is a great introduction Darius, but with so much to cover it would be great to see a series of videos focusing just on a few areas of the NNAM in each video. Also I've often wondered how did they remove and transport whole frescos or entire rooms and/or floor or wall mosaics to museums without them falling apart or crumbling?? Would maybe make for an interesting video subject. I've been to Pompeii and Naples a couple of times but never made it to the NNAM. I must remedy that next time I'm in the area. Thanks for all you do, it's so fascinating!

The newly reopened Campania Romana section is particularly impressive, revealing a depth of culture and daily life often overlooked

So much man-made beauty gathered together! Thanx for video

Fortunate to have spent a day in this magifico musei. Bliss!

Wow...Who is responsible for the recreation of Pompeii..It is so detailed...It must have taken a long time to work on

Great video Darius, a must see for sure!

Once restored all treasures to be put back this national park belongs to the king

👍👏❤ from Naples

I took a city bus that seemed to zig zag over hills and through every neighborhood to see this museum. When I got there it had already closed at 3 or 3:30--if my memory is correct. I wasn't too angry. The bus ride meant I saw parts of town I never would have seen.

After viewing several Ancient Rome Live videos, I have come to the conclusion I must spend one year in Italy to see everything once and some twice.

Fabulous video and commentary - thank you!!

Well done, thank you.

A nice tour of an interesting venue.

Great video as usual . If we ever get back to Italy that’s the first place I would like to go . Grazie .

Darius, another great video! The MANN is wonderful. I've been a few times, and wish I could get back for the Alexander exhibit, so I am definitely looking forward to that video! I am just sorry I didn't think to come say hello to you at the American University in Rome when I was at the AAR just around the corner (2018-2019). Maybe I'll get a chance to meet you at an AIA/SCS conf. and thank you in person for all the great videos that keep us Roma-philes from feeling too homesick!

There is also an interesting egiptian collection in the museum.

This is awesome dude!

❤

Bucket list in Naples home of my ancestors.......

The Mann is a museum with some of the most beautiful and important artifacts in history. If they merged with the nearby Capodimonte Museum they could compete with the Louvre (perhaps gathering everything in the immense Real Albergo dei Poveri) because it is true that the pictorial section would be significantly lower but the Greco-Roman section is the largest in the world.

great things. worth to visit Napoli, thank you

Italy is an open air museum

3:30 Wow!

HELLO YO VISITE TREMENDO MUSEO/. SALUDOS ROMANOS

Darius, love your videos! But why did you pronounce Latin MAGNA GRAECIA as if it were Modern Italian?

I just visited the museum....the collections are truly world class. A visit here is de rigeur for any educated person. That's the good part. The bad part: administrative incompetence, disorganization, poor customer service, deferred maintenance of the facility (broken elevators, problems with restrooms etc.). To their credit though, these problems were shared by just about all the museums in Italy. I think the worst of all was the Uffizi in Florence. It is something of a national disgrace. This would not be permitted in most European countries.

@10:23, what are "oskin inscriptions"? "Ox skin"? On the museum itself, I loved the collection, but when I was there about 8 years ago, there needed to be a place to sit down and have something to eat. The best I could find was a barren room with some vending machines and benches with no back supports.

What si written on thise scrakl sof papaeri?( forget how thats spelled lol took latin in shcool a million years ago). You ahve be so cirisou can we make out any of it or will it fall to dust or ash if we try? Experts handling ? Can we see? What were they reading?

Planning a visit to Naples . How long should we plan for a visit to MANN to get a good review of its collections?

Interesting to note so many starkers male statues full monty yet most female statues are primly clothed.Even emperors display their naked virility to all.Imagine our current leaders doing this!😅

So those are the people who plundered the ruins of Pompeii.

Were the ancient romans men really that buff and athletic like all those statues?

It look like Greece bucause South Italy is Greece occupied from the Northern Lombard Barbarians

I AM

Looks like you could spend a year making 10 minute episodes, one for each piece in the museo.

Fantastic! Thank you for showing us the exhibit. DNA tests on the busts might help identify them… (jk)

"promo sm"

why are adopting an italian accent when pronouncing some of the place names? Italians dont say US place names in an american accent, do they?

Huh, that's an interesting video! When visiting another city or country, every educated person must visit a museum. Visiting museums is very useful and fascinating. A love for the "eternal" and "beautiful" is awakened in a person, the beginnings of greatness and respect for history are inculcated. It is impossible to turn the excursion into something banal, ordinary and boring. The person should be a comprehensively developed person, cultured, educated, critically and analytically thinking, with knowledge of foreign languages. It is the knowledge of a foreign language that opens wide prospects for a person to realize his/her creative potential, career and financial growth. I would like to recommend the practical training course by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language", where you can find lots of useful information how to learn a foreign language quickly. Learn a foreign language and realize your creative potential on an international scale! The international community needs creative ideas! Thanks to the author of the channel for a very fascinating tour!

'From southern Italy' with stress on the word southern, and the word Italy almost said as a question, why? It's so distracting, why do you put these strange word stresses in? I enjoy the videos but I have to watch with the sound off.

90% or more just Greek culture
