LACMA says…

Pompeii and the Roman Villa: Art and Culture around the Bay of Naples focuses on the breadth and richness of cultural and artistic life in this region. The exhibition includes works of art from the imperial villa at Oplontis and from aristocratic villas such as the Villa San Marco at Stabiae and the Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum, as well as works from the opulent houses of the urban elite in Pompeii, whose very name conjures up ancient Rome and other towns along the bay of Naples. Featured in the exhibition are approximately one hundred-twenty works of sculpture, painting, mosaic, and luxury arts. Recent discoveries from around the Bay of Naples that have never before been exhibited in the United States will complement more familiar finds from earlier excavations.
