Napoli, Campania: Museo Archeologico di Napoli.

My first view of Vesuvius! From the archeology museum. (The weather’s been cloudy. Views have been lousy ’til now.)

Taken from an open window on the top floor. My Dutch friends who are with me are outraged that this room containing frescoes from Pompeii has windows that are open to the elements as we stand here. “Don’t they know anything about climate control and conservation?!?!” (Yes, they do, but this is not a wealthy country like The Netherlands….)
