An excellent private collection given to the town. The archaeological rooms were closed when I visited but very much enjoyed the mainly 19th paintings of Sorrento and Naples and wished it looked more like that now rather than the present day chaos with the traffic and tourists. Some beautiful views from the villa across the Bay of Naples. You'll spend about an hour here.
An excellent visit. Initially it may not seem value for money but if you go to the Belvidere (sitting area) the view is spectacular and quiet. The artwork reflects the culture of the 18th century Sorrento and the top floor is truly amazing - I won’t say why but leave you to find out. A great 2.5 hour visit.
Nice museum, it's good to visit it. Security was a bit.. suspicious on the visitors :)
We visited sorrento for our honeymoon and decided to do a morning of museums. Museo Correale Di Terranova being the first. Slight confused as the leaflet said €8 per person to enter but when we arrived they said it was €15. We decided to pay the €30 euros. The place is very beautiful, with displays of local artists and ceramics and furniture but very little is in other languages so it's quite difficult to know what you are looking at exactly.
Watch out for the creepy security guard though. He takes a shine to the ladies and I'm sure he took a photo of me before I clocked him at which point he hastily closed his phone and disappeared.
The gardens are beautiful, and there is a path that leads to the most beautiful viewpoint out onto the sea and amalfi coast surrounding by orange and lemon trees on the way. It was a pleasant respite from the heat but I would say it was worth €30.

We went to watch the 3 tenors here and what a treat! Outstanding musicians and an experience I will never forget. I would have given 5 stars however 1 was removed as we brought 2 glasses of Prosecco for 10 euros to walk up the stairs into the venue to be told we couldn't take the drinks in. We had to down the drink or simply leave it. If we had known in advance would have declined to purchase.
Beautiful exhibits detailing the vivid history of the region. For 8 Euros a person, this museum is a must if you're visiting Sorrento. Top it off with a leisurely stroll through their gorgeous garden - you will not regret it!
