A show I haven't seen
I'm sorry that the big Vespasian show is mounted in the Colosseum. Since I got here after spring started the lines for the Colosseum have been unbearable - and as far as I can tell there's no separate entrance for the exhibition.
The show looks splendid, and is curated by Filippo Coarelli, a really important Roman archaeologists. But I hate standing in line, sometimes so much that I'll skip a show.

There are always slow times. The last hour before closing often works. Some years ago when I was in Rome, I discovered that the guards let you stay in the Sistine Chapel longer in the last hour or half hour just before it closes, because the feeder galleries (i.e. the Vatican Museum) is pretty empty then.
