On August 24, 79 AD, Vesuvius erupted in what was to be one of the biggest, deadliest, and most famous vulcano eruptions in the history of mankind... On your visit to the National Archaeological Museum in Naples you will see objects of rare beauty. Many of these silent witnesses to the eruption were unearthed only recently from excavations at Pompeii, Herculaneum, and nearby archaeological sites around Vesuvius and the Phlegraean Fields. Frescoes exhibited in the Wall Paintings Room are mainly portions of decorated wall plaster removed from the buildings buried by the eruption of the Vesuvius in 79 AD. The collection is an exceptional record of the art of decorative painting in Roman times. The fragments represent several themes: mythology and literature, still lives and landscapes, portraits, scenes of daily life, and religious ceremonies related to the household gods. Another room shows the wall paintings removed from the temple of Isis in Pompeii.
