Antiquarium di Pompei
Main site museum near Porta Marina, displaying original frescoes, objects, and exhibits that introduce the archaeological area.
The ancient commune of Pompeii was frozen in time after Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, covering it in six metres of volcanic ash—stopping the wealthy city in its tracks. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visitors come from all over the world to see this perfectly preserved Roman city.
