How to get to National Archaeological Museum (MANN) by metro
Overview
The National Archaeological Museum of Naples — the MANN — holds one of the world's most extraordinary collections of antiquities: the treasures of Pompeii and Herculaneum (mosaics, frescoes and everyday objects), the Farnese Collection with the Farnese Hercules and Farnese Bull, the Secret Cabinet and the Egyptian section. The "Museo" metro station is literally beneath the museum and echoes its classical themes with reproductions of statues such as the Farnese Hercules.

Good to know
💡 It is the best introduction to a visit to Pompeii: many of the finest finds from the excavations are kept here. Remember, though, that Pompeii and Herculaneum are reached by the Circumvesuviana train from Napoli Garibaldi, not by the metro.
