National Archeological Museum of Naples, Naples Italy


The National Archeological Museum of Naples houses amazing sculptures from the Farnese Family, relics from Pompei, Greek and Roman sculptures from Campania, Egyptian artifacts and other paintings.

We toured this museum while in Naples, Italy. Here are some pictures of the priceless treasures.
