Roman Frescoes from Boscoreale. The Villa of Publius Fannius Syni

"The reinstallation of the galleries of Greek and Roman art at the Metropolitan Museum, completed in 2007, particularly benefited the Roman collections, which had not been comprehensively exhibited since the 1940s. As part of the reinstallation, the wall paintings from the Villa of Publius Fannius Synistor at Boscoreale, which was buried in A.D. 79, recieved long overdue conservation treatment and an entirely new placement that brings together all of the Museum´s panels from the villa, including those from the extraordinary cubiculum, or bedroom, which for forty years had resided in the Great Hall." Thomas P. Campbell Director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art
