    184 pieces, many of which have good images on this site, with voiceover descriptions of the objects. If you are anywhere in the neighborhood, you have a few more months to make it there. Make it part of your "Staycation" .

    Yes, the site is indeed very good. The narration is good as well, although the narrator stutters a little in the beginning of the first picture (Lucilla's bust).

    EDIT: It's curious they call the Parthians, in the statue of Trajan, as Iranians (Trajan died campaigning against the Iranians). It's really sad, since they could do at least an effort to make the general American public understand the enemies of Rome were not equal to the present-day Iranians, that Iran had a different name by that time. He calls Romania Dacia, and rightly so, for example. It's curious since I've seen plenty of TV Shows where they consult historians, who present the USA as the true heirs of the Roman Empire, legitimizing it in very subjective things. And it immediatly sprung up to my mind such an intention by depicted the Parthians, as Iranians, and thus as enemies of the Roman Emperors.
