The Getty Museum in Pacific Palisades ( https://www.getty.edu/visit/villa/ ) is a sort of reproduction of the villa as it was understood at the time. However...

“Fresh attempts were made in the 1990s to explore the old excavations and these yielded an astonishing discovery. The villa was not merely built on one level, as had been previously thought, but was terraced down to the sea. It appeared that slaves had been trying to carry crates of books to safety when they were overwhelmed by the eruption.”
