As indicated by its name, which means top of the hill, the Museo di Capodimonte actually is on the top of a hill in Naples. It is renowned as one of the finest museums in Italy.
The museum's collections center on works assembled by the Farnese family in the 16th century. The first half of the exhibition introduces works collected by the Farnese family from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The second half focuses on 17th century Neapolitan painting.
The exhibition consists of approximately 80 paintings, sculptures, decorative art works, and drawings.

This exhibition introduces roughly 40 prints selected from the NMWA’s holdings of 1,700 Daumier works.
