Those of you who were reading the blog last year (http://artworks2000.blogspot.com/2014/01/day-28-poopei-or-is-it-pompoop.html) as I was taking these shots know that I was pretty bitter the day we visited Pompeii, because of all the closures. I guess the lack of funding has finally reached a crisis point where they have just decided to lock up huge areas, including whole streets, from viewing.
Nevertheless there were some choice bits that were still on view, like this detail of a gryphon from the Stabian Baths. I'd be curious to hear from anyone who's going (or has already been) there this summer as to how it's looking and how much of it is closed.
