Villa Audi Mosaic Museum — Attraction in Rmeil

Beautiful works on display, unfortunately no references or any info on any of the pieces. You just listen to a free guide. Like a ghostly exhibition of unknown sources of work. Sad.... I am sure that every piece has a tremendous history behind it! Very hostile atmosphere unfortunately. Forbidden to take pictures while there are photos on every social media, when I asked to take a photo of a photo from a book on display, they suggested I buy the book. I am a regular visitor, admirer of art but not a professional mosaic lover! When asking any question the answer is as lame as everything else. Of course I wouldn't visit again and wouldn't...

We stumbled on to this by chance-for some reason it wasn't mentioned in any of the guide books or blogs and it really should be! Free entry includes a guided tour of an enormous collection of well preserved mosaics from 2-6AD set in a gorgeous building that used to be a family home. The mosaics are on 3 floors and there is a lift. Allow at least half an hour and a bit extra if the guide is doing a tour already as you will have to wait. Well worth a visit! Special thanks to the guide...
