The National Archaeological Museum of Naples (Italian: National Archaeological Museum of Naples, sometimes abbreviated to MANN) is an important Italian archaeological museum, especially for ancient Roman remains.

The ruins at Pompeii were first discovered late in the 16th century by the architect Domenico Fontana. Herculaneum was discovered in 1709, and systematic excavation began there in 1738. Work did not begin at Pompeii until 1748, and in 1763 an inscription (“Rei publicae Pompeianorum”) was found that identified the site as Pompeii. The work at these towns in the mid-18th century marked the start of the modern science of archeology.
