The Italian Holidays - Archaeological Museum #1

Herkules Farnese / Farnese Hercules

Ciao! So after wandering the streets of Napoli for some hours, we reached our destination, the National Archaeological Museum. There they have most of the artefacts discovered in Herculaneum and Pompeii on display, so it totally completes your visit to these two excavation sites.
