Naples National Archaeological Museum questions
Should I visit the museum before or after Pompeii?
Either works, but going first helps you picture how Pompeii's houses looked with their art still in place.
What day is the Naples Archaeological Museum closed?
It is closed on Tuesdays, apart from a few holiday Tuesdays when it opens and closes the next day instead.
Is the Secret Cabinet suitable for children?
It holds explicit Roman art. Under-14s can visit with an adult, but you may want to skip that room.
