National Archaeological Museum, Naples (1)

A dull and wet day helped us to decide on a visit to the museum in Naples.

An imposing staircase at the far end of the main hall...

...but don't forget to look up.

What amazing workmanship!

A few examples of findings in Pompeii


This floor mosaic was almost intact...

...plus alcoves...

...and columns

Meet Terentius Neo and his wife, ordinary bakers in Pompeii. You feel you'd recognise them if you bumped into them!
