Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte

Why go

The museum occupies the Reggia di Capodimonte, a royal palace begun in 1738 for Charles of Bourbon to house the art collection he had inherited from his mother, Elisabetta Farnese. According to italia.it, the palace opened as a museum in 1957 after the medieval and modern art collections of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples were moved there; the archaeological museum's own history page also dates the transfer of its paintings to Capodimonte to 1957. italia.it describes the Farnese Gallery, the historic apartment and a contemporary art section, and says the palace and the surrounding Real Bosco became a single complex over time; the institution gives its address as Via Miano 2. This record is the museum, and its map point is the museum building, not a park gate. XTOUR could not read the museum's own site on 9 October 2026 (the connection was refused), so no entry or booking rules are given here.
