Quick Facts Established, Location ...

By the will of the Neapolitan archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli, the rooms were intended to collect in a museum evidence of the life of Naples and the southern Kingdoms (Kingdom of Naples and Kingdom of Sicily first and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies after). The museum, which is spread over two levels, is accessed from the two cloisters of the charterhouse.[3]

Since December 2014, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities has been managing the museum and charterhouse through the Campania museum complex, which in December 2019 became the Regional Directorate for Museums.[4]
