The archaeological museum in Naples is a fantastic place to visit. Everywhere you look, you are surrounded by artifacts from Pompeii and a great variety of other locations. I highly recommend taking a tour of the museum in order to get as much as possible out of your visit. This incredible museum has everything from early silverware and servingware to loaves of bread that were found in ovens when Pompeii was discovered. Imagine standing there, looking at bread that is from the time of the ancient Romans. That is an experience I will never forget. Many frescoes and intricate mosaics line the walls of this museum. The display of glassware and storage used by the Romans is also fascinating to get a close look at. However, my favorite area of the museums were the rooms created to look like a home in Pompeii would have looked while the city was in its prime. The frescoes on the walls had brilliant colors, and it was overall an amazing sight.
