Today, some 2.5 million visitors annually walk the long, narrow stone streets of Pompeii, lined with remains of temples, shops, taverns, markets, a forum, an amphitheater, bordellos and homes of the rich and humble. Capacious villas, open for inspection, reveal frescoes, mosaics and other decorative artwork in varying stages of preservation. Many of the best works are now in museums in Naples and elsewhere. Fruits of decades of excavation and research are displayed in a fascinating exhibition, ⁐ompeii and the Roman Villa: Art and Culture Around the Bay of Naples,†on view at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., through March 22. Featured are 150 exquisite treasures; paintings, sculptures, mosaics and decorative arts, all rescued from the ruins of villas in Pompeii and neighboring communities.
