The palace that currently houses the MANN was first a cavalry barracks and then the Palazzo dei Regi Studi or seat of the University in Bourbon times. From the end of the 18th century it was transformed into one of the first and most important museums of archaeology in Europe, thanks to the figure of Charles III of Bourbon and his enlightened cultural policy.
