A richly illustrated history of the National Museum of Naples between 1900 and 1957, reconstructed through around 200 historical photographs. The book reveals a lost museum where archaeology and painting coexisted, documenting its galleries, displays, and evolution.
This volume traces the history of the National Museum of Naples between 1900 and 1957, before its transformation into today’s National Archaeological Museum. At that time, the museum housed not only world-renowned archaeological collections but also an important Picture Gallery, reflecting a unique museographical vision.
Illustrated with around 200 historical photographs—including images by Herbert List and Henri Cartier-Bresson—the book reconstructs a museum that no longer exists, revealing its galleries, displays, and the debates that shaped one of Italy’s leading cultural institutions during the first half of the twentieth century.
