Amazing museum, mainly marble busts and statues, some bronze too, also lots of frescoes and mosaics. Besides the highlights: boxer, discobolo and every Roman emperor’s bust, there are some other very interesting artefacts such as Roman ship pieces and sarcophaguses. Prepare a good 3h to visit properly. Descriptions in Italian and English!
