Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is on the side of the forum in a fenced in case. It shows some of the artifacts which were found during excavations. The photo is one of the cast dead. There is also a baby cast too which brings home the suddeness and sadness of the eruption

This is an area of great interest, there are vases and various artefacts kept in this part, which we can only see from a partitioned wall, it was sad for me to see two particular remains of the Pompeii people who died,there bodies had casts taken as they were found including a young child laying on his side just the moment they died instantly, very emotional to see.

This was one of the most profound parts of Pompeii. You can see many artifacts and plaster casts of the bodies discovered in the city. I have seen the photos in books, but it is nothing like seeing it in real life.

This is a very touching reminder of why we are able to see Pompeii today. There is a lot to see in these display areas. Do take your time as this area can get a bit crowded with tours but they soon move off

This is just one of the many artifacts you will see when visiting Pompeii. I read that these casts are made by filling in hollow areas where bodies once laid with plaster. I was also told that the only place with these casts is Pompeii. While the museum in Naples does have many artifacts from Pompeii, there were no casts on display that I saw.

The museum really gives you a reality check when in Pompeii. It is all too easy to walk around and see ruins and be amazed by the vastness of the ancient civilisation, but once stood a lively busy city with inhabitants that were given no warning to their untimely fate.

The museum has casts of some of the victims and it is a powerful realisation for those that forget this is where an entire city was destroyed. Definitely one to see to make you think

Seeing the remains of some of the people that died a horrible death brings you back to the reality that Pompei is more than a collection of ruins but the place where so many died without warning.

This is likely one of the most photographed parts of Pompeii as it shows the casts of the people in the city.

The casts show the people as they were when the end came. As terrible as the stories of Pompei are, there is something of a sense of serenity here.
