The museum

Designed by Marcello Piacentini at the end of the 1930s, the building, formerly the headquarters of the Banco di Napoli, was renovated by Michele De Lucchi -AMDL Circle in line with the latest museum standards: the architectural project continues and expands upon the exhibitions and cultural activities offered by the nearby Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano between 1999 and 2022.
