Museo del conservatorio di San Pietro a Majella, Musical instrument museum in central Naples, Italy.
Museo del Conservatorio di San Pietro a Majella is a musical instrument museum in central Naples housed inside a former Celestine convent. The exhibition rooms display historical instruments spanning different periods and types of music.
The collection holds manuscripts and autographs from composers who studied at the conservatory when it was founded in the 18th century. The building and school became closely tied to Naples' classical opera history.
The museum sits inside a former convent where Naples' musical traditions took shape over centuries. Visitors can see how instruments and portraits link the city to its great musicians and composers.
The museum is open on weekday mornings for limited hours and entry is free. Guided tours in multiple languages are available, so it is worth checking opening times and tour schedules in advance.
The collection includes a library with original musical scores, librettos, and documents from major Italian composers spanning three centuries. These rare writings reveal the creative work behind some of Italy's most famous operas and symphonies.
