Excerpt from Illustrated Guide to the National Museum in Naples, Sanctioned by the Ministry of Education The gems in the various collections here exhibited belong almost exclusively to the Farnese bequest, the others have been added to a large extent either by purchase or through excavations in the Campanian towns. The bronzes on the other hand and the household utensils were found for the most part at Pompeii and Herculaneum as were the mosaics to which a considerable addition was made by the purchase of the Borgia Collection from Velletri in 1817. The papyri are all from Herculaneum. The nucleus of the picture gallery was formed by the pictures of the Farnese bequest sent from Parma to Naples. More were added from churches and sequestered monasteries while countless others came from the Borgia Collection at Velletri. A remarkable addition to this section was the bequest of the late Marchese del Vasto who left the magnificent tapestries depicting the Battle of Pavia to the Museum.
