Yes, the very one, as per pictures in my post #8.
Having being around some twenty years ago, i did not visit its interior. I have (much) later read about the museum but thought they would only have a few pieces in exhibition in one of the building wings; it could have been like that but (at least) now, all floors are stuffed with material, divided on a thematic basis. Also they have (recently) done excavations and some Roman constructions are exposed.
A place to visit, no doubt ... and even get lost inside such huge palace.
