About Museo di Capodimonte
King Charles VII of Bourbon began building the palace in 1738 to house the Farnese collection inherited from his mother. It opened as a public museum in 1957.
The galleries trace painting from the Middle Ages to the present, with celebrated works by Titian, Caravaggio, Parmigianino, and a notable collection of contemporary art.
