Report from on the ground in Paestum - the museum is (partially) reopened! It sounds like it opened earlier this month.
The museum is beautiful and has many amazing pieces on display. But there are clearly still sections that are not still open:
- The entire second floor is slated to be the Roman exhibit isn't open.
- The center display room right as you walk in has plywood cases in it.
- The Diver room is up and installed but it is at the end of a series of rooms with uncompleted exhibits. The tours were being herded behind the rope but I it wasn't until I asked about it that the guard took me back to see it. (Under the close observations of security guards.)
Paestum is amazing, can't recommend it enough if you have any interest in antiquity. The Roman ruins would a hugely significant site all by themselves but combined with the Greek temples it's astonishing.
