Traveler reviews
Rosita Chan
★★★★★2 years agoEvery time I visited Naples, I discover something new. This museum definitely surprises me. It has the largest collection of bank documents in the world, dating back to 1500s. With the development of trust system (a credit certificate), every transaction was recorded in details in one of these giant record books. As a result, these bank documents recorded the day-to-day life of people from 500 years ago. The museum reconstructed the stories through multimedia. All exhibits have English. My 13-and 9-year old sons found it interesting too. If you happen to be in the area (Metro line 1 Duomo), I strongly recommend you to spend 1-2 hours to visit this museum.

★★★★★4 years agoThis museum may seem a little niche but is totally worth a visit. They do an absolutely wonderful job of bringing the bank's archives to life. Top marks to the museum's curator.
