Frescoes of the Roman Villa of the Farnesina

A new display of frescoes of the Roman villa of the Farnesina at Palazzo Massimo (Museo Nazionale Romano) from July 1st.
"The new exhibition plan calls for a different layout of the rooms, reconstructed in their actual dimensions with their wall decorations, stucco vaults, and part of the mosaic pavements, as well as improved lighting and a new information system, as has already been created for the triclinium of the Villa of Livia and for the ancient rooms of the Termini. (...) The new installation will offer visitors the opportunity to admire these refined decorations at their best, in a new way." [Museum website]
