The Accademia Ercolanese, in full Regale Accademia Ercolanese di Archeologia (Royal Herculaneum Academy of Archaeology), is a learned society established in Herculaneum in 1755 by Bernardo Tanucci under the royal patronage of Charles VII of Naples with the primary purpose of studying and preserving the finds from Herculaneum and Pompeii.[1]
It was housed in the Royal Palace of Portici and developed the original Herculanense Museum.
