The Museum was built specifically to house the monumental sculptural groups found in thousands of fragments at the end of the 1950s in the famous Grotto that opens onto the sea, a characteristic element of a vast residential complex usually identified with the praetorium, or palace, owned by the emperor Tiberius. Four main groups have been identified so far, depicting the exploits of Ulysses: the blinding of Polyphemus by the hero and some companions, the attack of the monster Scylla on the ship and the killing of six companions suffocated by the coils of snakes, the abduction of the Palladium from the Trojan temple of Athena by Ulysses and Diomedes, and finally the so-called Pasquino, in which Ulysses dragging the body of Achilles has recently been recognized.

Please note the opening hours. Parking was under construction and the entrance was very narrow.
