Tour of the Archaeological Museum of Naples

After visiting Pompeii we wanted to see all the art and statuary that was removed for preservation. But it is one thing to look and read all the signs and another to have a tour guide explain to you the meaning and history of each piece. This really brought Pompeii to life unlike any tour we have had. The artifacts were now real and the stories put in context the uniqueness of the situation. Our guide was not only knowledgeable, she was an art historian who could place each piece in context with history. We had a private tour and that really made a difference as we were able to ask questions and get detailed answers without the distract of a large group needing to move on to the next exhibit.

Thank you Maria for a very interesting tour. I learned so much about ancient roman society looking at those artifacts... Not to miss!
