‘THE BODY OF EVIDENCE’
Antiquarium of the archaeological site
16 th December 2016 – 27 th August 2017
Pompeii and Southern Italy continue to uncover the finds from their infinite archaeological heritage quite unusually. This time it concerns an unprecedented “loot”, composed of misappropriated objects that had been seized since the 60s and that have now been released and made available to the public in an original exhibition at the Antiquarium of Pompeii called ‘The Body of Evidence’.
