The Deal Mommy

So you find this random junk under your house, too, right?

So today I rode the Naples Metro to the Naples National Archaeological Museum. My expectations were not high after yesterday’s excursion to Pompeii (more on that later) but I was blown away. My hotel is near the Toledo station and I ‘m so glad it is as I got to see an unexpected treasure: The most beautiful metro station in Europe. It certainly was beautiful, giving an aquatic illusion in mosaic, but it’s not what I want to talk about.

Two stations down, at the Museo station, there’s a little room just past the stairs to exit the station. Attended by one bored guard, it’s a collection of, well, basically 3,000 years worth of daily life in Naples, and it is astounding!

…and just to recap, this is BEFORE you get to the museum, basically lying around in the metro station!

Have you ever been amazed by what other cultures consider debris? Please share in the comments.
