On our last full day in Rome, April 24th, we returned to another favorite, the National Roman Museum, near Termini. It was at least our fourth visit, others recounted at:

So I think I've already posted all the things we like about this wonderful museum, except to re-emphasize the Villa of Livia, our happy place in Rome, all four frescoed walls of a 1st century villa's subterranean (to avoid the summer heat) dining room, a four-wall garden landscape, as breath-taking an experience as Monet's water lilies at the Orangerie, but ever more so because of its very great antiquity.

| The Museum has half a floor of re-assembled rooms from various villas and homes, a must-see in order to appreciate what you'll find in the Forum or Pompeii |
