I visited Pompeii and Herculaneum in the summer of 2010 and was absolutely brilliant. I preferred the smaller town of Herculaneum to Pompeii but still eye-opening. |

Me too, but British Museum exhibitions are always wonderful. They had a fabulous "Shakespeare" exhibition on last autumn. The books which accompany the exhibitions are great, too.
