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.

Thanks for a very good video! I’ll have to go there again, for sure.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!
