Tour the Palazzo Degli Studi
Set in the massive 16th-century palace Palazzo Degli Studi, the museum was founded by Ferdinand IV in 1777. Formed from the discoveries of the Vesuvian excavations which were at the time exhibited in Museo Herculanese in the Royal Palace at Portici and his family’s extensive collection of art and Roman antiquities, the Farnese collection, today the museum holds over three million objects of archaeological and historic importance. Greek and Roman Sculptures, Frescoes and mosaics from Pompeii Herculaneum and Stabia, an Egyptian collection, 2nd only to Turin’s Egyptian Museum, over 200,000 coins and medals from Ancient Greece to the Bourbon Era, and a collection of nearly 2500 documents written in Latin, Greek, and dialects of the Italic people. However, the exhibition which people find most interesting is the Secret Cabinet, an erotic collection of finds from Pompeii and Herculaneum.
