The Neapolitan Charterhouse, dedicated to St. Martin bishop of Tours, was founded in 1325 for King Charles' will, the Angevin Robert 's son. The huge structure is a work by Tino, the son of the sculptor Camaino and by Attanasio Primario.

The Museum houses also the Prior's Quarter, where la Vergine con Bambino e san Giovannino by Pietro Bernini is on display.
