Capodimonte Museum in Naples

Make your reservations directly from the original website to save money. This museum is the one I liked the most in Naples: there is really so much to see if you are an art enthusiast and more. You can spend the entire day between the museum structure and the immense 134-hectare park that surrounds the building where you also find places for picnics, fountains, and benches. Being outside the center of Naples it is not very crowded but I am writing this review precisely because this place deserves to be visited. It is easy to reach by bus which, from the center of Naples, drops you off near the entrance of Capodimonte.

I am sorry, but I was a bit disappointed by this museum, perhaps because when I visited, some parts were closed for maintenance. There are certainly beautiful works, and the museum is very large. The monographic exhibition of Nicola Samorí was spectacular and memorable.

We went through aviator to buy the tickets. We paid 50% more than the official rate, while there was no one at the checkouts. Probably the price of serenity. However, I only received the tickets after calling twice, I had only received the vouchers before that, which were not accepted.

Palace housing a rich collection of Titian, Raphael and other magnificent paintings. A must to do in Naples.

A huge collection of paintings of any time from 1200 onwards. Great names ( Tiziano, Botticelli, Masaccio...) but look at the paintings, not only at the author's name! Don't say "Botticelli painted this, therefore it is beautiful", or "therefore I like it". Botticelli 'Madonna is an absolute beauty, but many other paintings are as beautiful as that. My favourite is Guido Reni's Ippomene and Atalanta! Consider at least 3 hours for the visit. There is car parking along the road or a bus from the centre

I associate myself with the many negative comments since on Sundays and moreover under the holidays is closed an entire floor of the museum, with unchanged price!!! shameful situation that spoils the visit of the complex .... ditto as regards the many works loaned that impoverish the visit ... always at full price that is not little for what remains to be seen

The state has never sunk so low today we were charged the royal intern tiket for us to visit the destination, with the opportunity to return on Monday x the floor that we cannot visit Logical consequence: the whole genre angry at the box office , the staff who repeated the same things over and over again like a litany x defend themselves from the accusations of scam “FORCE PEOPLE TO PAY FULL TICKET X HAVE VISION FI GOAL PERCIRSO”. The justification was “”it was written online” as if I announce that “I’m going to steal” becomes legal Dear Director on what legal principle do you ask for money, without offering adequate services? What gives you the right to think I'm in Naples tomorrow to make up for the disservice duo? Considering that Naples in this period is much visited beautiful imagine that from of her city, surely after this inefficiency will make her minister of culture considering how we go meritocracy

If it weren’t for the wonder of Caravaggio’s Flagellation and the beauty of Michelangelo and Raphael’s cartoons and some other paintings, I wouldn’t recommend a visit! The museum has remained as it was decades ago, I hoped it had been modernized but, alas, it is still very badly organized: a succession of rooms and works without a chronological guide, an explanatory panel, a historical framing... not even an indication of the succession of rooms, some arrow... The visitor gets lost in a flood of pictorial works of various origins, sometimes mixed with other artifacts.

This museum was officially opened in 1957, although the palace halls have housed works of art since 1758. It houses mainly paintings, distributed principally in the two main collections: the Farnese, which includes some of the greatest names in Italian and international painting, such as Raphael, Caravaggio, Titian, Parmigianino, Brueghel the Elder, El Greco, Ludovico Carracci, and Guido Reni; and the Neapolitan Gallery, which consists of works from churches in the city and its surrounding areas, transported to the museum for security reasons. The best thing is that there were very few people the day my wife and I went, so we were able to contemplate the paintings in complete peace and quiet, and take a large number of photographs. Of course, Caravaggio's great painting, "The Flagellation," was not there, as it was on loan between March 7 and July 6 of this year at the Caravaggio 2025 Exhibition in Rome, but luckily we had already seen it there. We were also fortunate enough to observe a group of professionals carrying out restorations. Finally, it's truly a marvel to walk through the museum gardens and then walk down the hill into the center of Naples.

Only the second floor is accessible in the museum on public holidays. In this period, for restoration works of the architectural environments, the works on display are almost all covered with cellophane. Nothing about the choice of partial closures or the modernization of the premises, but I find it shameful to charge the ticket at full price. A missed opportunity to prove fairness to visitors
