It is one of the most important in the world, it must be the epicenter.
“The National Archaeological Museum of Naples, thanks to the work of director Giulierini and those who direct, will become a first-rate museum. We are working on it. I wonder why no one had thought of it before”.
The announcement was made by the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano, at a press conference at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples to present the exhibition 'Alexander the Great and the Orient' and the restoration of the mosaic of the Battle of Issus.
“The story that's inside here - he said - makes it a first-rate museum, it is one of the most important archaeological museums in the world if not perhaps the most important. And it must also be an epicenter place”. “I conceive the expansion of the Mann thinking that it can take care of and work for the relaunch of the Galleria Principe di Napoli, which is a beautiful gallery but is objectively in a state of degradation, but which can become a place of culture. Then we are working - added the minister - for the great project of the Albergo dei Poveri, we have 148 million euros, a substantial sum, but in my opinion we need 300 like the great library of France. There we imagine giving a significant space to the Mann to exhibit the collections that the experts will consider can be exhibited and will find a stable positioning”, concluded Sangiuliano.
