I visited Pompeii in 1968. They said that only about 10% had been excavated. What I saw was amazing, especially the casts of people fleeing the pyroclastic flow. Back then there were no signs saying “don’t touch” and no roped off areas. We just wandered around until incredibly hot sun forced us to leave. One in our party suffered classic sun stroke.

Journalism 101:
“The 12-metre high pyramid allows visitors to walk along a track before entering it.”
What?/? By way of comparison, does the Washington Monument allow visitors to walk along a sidewalk before entering it? Mighty generous of them both.
I’m interested in what the track consists of, too. Surely not a railroad . . . surely not a 100-metre race track . . .
“The photos are partly broken down into fragments and then reassembled in pastiches and are exhibited along the walls illuminated by diffused light.”
Way to make obscure what the heck one sees.
Why place it in the middle of the arena? The arena seems to be in pretty good shape, might they not want to use it sometime?
