The Antiquarium's displays also document Pompeii's history as a settlement several centuries before it became a flourishing Roman city.
Due to Italy's COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions, currently only visitors from Italy's Campania region, which includes the Naples area and the Pompeii ruins, can see the museum.
