Located in the seventeenth-century Palazzo Zapata, in Naples, Piazza Trieste e Trento 48, in the "Quadrilateral of Wonders", from Castel Nuovo, from the Galleria Umberto I, from the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola, from Castel dell'Ovo and from Palazzo Reale and adjacent Teatro San Carlo, offers citizens, tourists, scholars, researchers and enthusiasts its precious multipurpose collection: picture gallery, library, photo library, document archive, period furnishings and instruments. All tastefully arranged in the architectural setting of the time. 600 works, including paintings, sculptures and graphic works; 5500 portraits and photographic images; 6000 ancient and modern volumes, two tens of thousands of archive finds, mostly unpublished, allow us to reconstruct the life of the arts in Naples from the first half of the nineteenth century to today.

The Museum boasts a vast collection of works of art created by numerous artists of national and international fame, including Vincenzo Caprile, Giuseppe De Sanctis, Vincenzo Gemito, Francesco Jerace, Giuseppe Renda and Eugenio Viti, which allows the visitor to retrace the currents art that characterized Naples from the late nineteenth to the first half of the twentieth century: from Verismo to Liberty, from the Secession to the so-called "return to order", up to some avant-garde experimentation of the second half of the twentieth century.

The Photo Library includes a collection of over 5,500 artifacts, including portraits and photographic images, which show the numerous illustrious people who have frequented and, with their professionalism, made this venue famous and incomparable.
