This museum is housed in a 17th century house and holds a rich collection of Roman artifacts from Pompeii, Stabiae and Herculaneum as well as an Egyptian collection. The ancient art includes works produced in the Roman era, Greek era and Renaissance era. It is considered one of the most important museums in the city and one of the most important in the world. The core of the collection includes engraved gems like the Farnese Cup, a 2nd century cup; Ptolemaic Bowl and the Treasure of the Magnificent. The Herculaneum Papyri is one of the museum highlights. It was carbonized by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. Much of the collection comes from the Farnese Marbles. The collection includes Roman copies of classic Greek statues. Among the highlights there is the Farnese Hercules, Farnese Atlas, Farnese Bull and the Venus Kallipygos. There are works in bronze and a mosaic collection, frescoes from Pompeii as well as an Egyptian collection. There is the Secret Cabinet collection of sex-related erotica from ancient Pompeii and Herculaneum. The collection has an interesting history and can be viewed by those over 14  and by those under 14 years if accompanied by an adult. There are also collections of medals, glassware, coins and silver and a model of what Pompeii looked like before the volcanic eruption destroyed it. The works are displayed according to their origin and in 26 thematic categories.
