After we were given a very competent guided tour of Pompeii yesterday, we were interested in the exceptionally well-preserved excavation artifacts from there and also the many finds from Herculaneum. The Archaeological Museum of Naples exceeded our expectations. An absolute must for every visitor to Naples.
