Pompeii painting exhibit in Oklahoma City Museum

This looks like a wonderful exhibit of frescos from Pompeii. I hope the exhibit will be held elsewhere, also.

Now, nearly 2000 years after the disaster, a massive collection of those pieces, literally carved out of the walls of the city, are on display for all to see at the OKLAHOMA CITY MUSEUM OF ART in an exhibit titled ‘The Painters of Pompeii.’

I also hope the exhibit travels closer to home.

I forget what year it was, but I went to New York City alone to see the Pompeii exhibit at the Met (?). Geeze, it's been so long ago I actually forget.  Drove my broken down Chevy to the Cleveland Airport, my  mom was worried to death about me (only found out about that years later). 

I do remember that at the last moment there were some pieces of the exhibit that were not allowed to come to NYC.
