Got another late start today, so we decided to go to the Naples Archaeological Museum, which houses many of the best finds from Pompeii. Unfortunately, the secret room (which houses the erotic frescoes), and the mosaic room were both closed. However, there was still quite an impressive array of sculptures, frescoes, and a solar calendar laid out in the marble floor of one of the rooms upstairs. We especially liked the solar calendar, which we got to see in action as we arrived shortly before solar noon (around 1pm right now due to the "legal hour", which must be what they call daylight savings time over here).
