This museum is the direct successor of the Royal Bourbon Museum, one of Europe's oldest and largest museums. Founded in the second half of the 18th century by Ferdinand of Bourbon, it brought together the Farnese collection and the Vesuvian antiquities. During the XVIII and the XIX centuries the museum continued to receive a lot of artifacts, both from private collections and from excavations of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabiae, Paestum, Cuma or elsewhere in Southern Italy. These archaeological treasures represent one of the most comprehensive and complete Greek and Roman collections in the world.

Beyond the entrance vestibule is an atrium of Corinthian type of an imposing size, with sixteen columns with Doric capitals set around the impluvium basin in the centre.
