The building that holds the museum was finished in the early seventeenth century, using a complex erected years ago. It opened in the year 1615 as the Royal Palace of studies, the headquarters of the University of Naples. When the university moved in the year 1777, King Ferdinand IV had the architect Ferdinando Fuga renovate and adapt the building to become the Royal Bourbon Museum and Library.
