    (Translated by Google) A magnificent discovery: the brand new museum is beautifully maintained by a very kind staff, who introduce you to the itinerary. The rooms are full of objects never seen before, explained very clearly by the many captions on the walls. A full immersion in marine science (and more) in a wonderful structure. The last room, in particular, is breathtaking, especially at sunset, which can be seen from the glass wall. Did you know that in Naples there are two submarines?? I didn't know it, until I was able to observe them closely in the museum garden. If you buy the ticket for the aquarium which is nearby, with just one euro more you will also get the ticket for the museum. Go there with friends, children, cousins… it's suitable for everyone!! (Original) Una scoperta magnifica: il nuovissimo museo è tenuto magnificamente da un gentilissimo staff, che ti introduce al percorso. Le sale sono ricche di oggetti mai visti prima, spiegati in maniera molto chiara dalle molte didascalie alle pareti. Una full immersion nella scienza marina (e non solo) all'interno di una struttura meravigliosa. L'ultima sala, in particolare, è da togliere il fiato, soprattutto all'ora del tramonto, che si vede dalla parete a vetri. Sapevate che a Napoli ci sono ben due sottomarini?? Io non lo sapevo, fino a quando non li ho potuti osservare da vicino nel giardino del museo. Se comprate il biglietto dell'acquario che si trova lì vicino, con un solo euro in più avrete anche quello del museo. Andateci con amici, figli, cugini… è adatto a tutti!!

    Fresh new museum, very didactic but not so immersive. You can learn a lot on sea creatures but all the references are in Italian.

    Tickets can be bought at museum or the aquarium, they have a package deal between the two. Signs are all in Italian but they do have a code at the front for an English translation. It's an impressive collection of specimens but outside of that main room it's definitely geared toward a younger audience. Can't fault it overall, it's as advertised, but isn't anything super impressive if you aren't into that specific thing.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful experience. The museum has been refurbished, the staff is very friendly and helpful and the structure is really well maintained and interesting. It is possible, saving money, to get tickets for both the aquarium and the museum (finally a well-curated cultural activity in Naples) (Original) Bellissima esperienza. Il museo è stato rimesso a nuovo, il personale è molto cordiale e disponibile e la struttura davvero ben curata e interessante. È possibile, risparmiando, prendere i biglietti sia per l'acquario che per il museo (finalmente un'attività culturale ben curata a Napoli)

    Neat little museum which you might as well visit if you’re in the area. The staff is very helpful, and the exhibitions are interesting. They have a room filled with bottled up sea creatures. Definitely the coolest area

    Great place to learn about history of life on earth. Exhibitions are in Italian so download your language guide at the lobby. They also provide free Wi-Fi.

    Interesting for kids. Little boring for adults. It is more educational center then museum.

    It Is Věry interesting performance, but that Is a pity the articles are not in another language, f.e. english

    The museum is all in Italian so as a tourist that doesn't speak Italian you rely on a PDF English Guide (which you can download for free). It was very interesting! There were lots of different things exhibited ! A lot of models, and cool paintings on the walls, a documentary you can watch, a sea life Simulation as well as very stunning preparations! It was a really cool experience and I enjoyed it a lot! The staff is also friendly so I would definitely come there again. :)

    (Translated by Google) The DaDoM museum and the water museum were a shelter from the August heat in Naples. The fish are beautiful, the signs explaining which fish are present in which aquarium are not well organized (maybe they are mixed?). The area is interesting, but some more paths and space deserve it (Original) Il museo DaDoM ed il museo dell'acqua sono stati un riparo dal caldo di agosto a Napoli. Belli i pesci, poco organizzati i cartelli che spiegano quale pesce è presente in quale acquario (forse vengono mischiati?). Interessante l'area, ma qualche percorso e spazio in più lo meriterebbero
