Buried Treasures – September 2019

Posted on by Susan

We saw many, many beautiful pieces of art from Pompeii. Most of the statues, mosaics, ceramics, and paintings were still in their original locations in the city. We also visited the National Archeological Museum in Naples and were quite impressed with even higher quality of restored PompeIi artwork.
