THE FINISHING SCHOOL FOR EVERY ASPIRING INDIANA JONES? The National Museum of Archaeology of Naples (MANN) begun displaying works in rotation from its immense reserves of 230,000 archaeological pieces. Darius Arya - a dashing TV archaeologist from the United States who has a touch of “Indy” himself - said: “The collection here is enormous. There are hundreds of thousands of pieces that we don’t see at the moment. But the museum is getting into the attitude of ‘Let’s cycle through this’. Where did most of the great pieces recovered from Pompeii go? They went here. All kinds of jewels, literally, are going to be unearthed from the archive.” Romancing the stones of Naples | The New European
