About this tour
This session stays inside the Pompeii rooms of the Naples Archaeological Museum, focused on what was recovered from the site rather than the wider collection. You see a large floor mosaic in detail and a room of ordinary household objects preserved by the eruption. It connects directly to Pompeii itself for anyone planning to visit.
I choose the rooms in advance and hold close on detail rather than moving through the whole museum, taking questions throughout. I send a short note afterwards with a little more on what we saw.
This suits anyone planning a visit to Pompeii and wanting context first. It also works well for viewers interested in ancient daily life rather than only grand art.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Good to know

- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 9 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
