If you ever get the chance, I would highly recommend a visit to the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. There are many more vibrant images from Pompeii and Herculaneum preserved there. It's striking how lively some of the preserved images are. They really don't feel like they are over two thousand years old, and seeing them seriously deepened my appreciation for the civilisation of ancient Rome. It's a unique experience. (I would advise trying to read up a little in advance though. The labels in the museum are rather self-indulgent. There's reams of text about how various pieces came to be in the collection, and quite little about what the piece is / represents.)
