Everyday Roman items like kitchen utensils, surgical tools, gold and silver make the Naples Archaeological Museum one of the world’s most important museums for the understanding of the civilization and daily life of the Roman Empire. The building also hosts the collection of Herculaneum papyrus, the world’s only example of books which have survived over two-thousand years.
