Was disappointed to see that it wasn't being shown in the museum when I went there 1.5 years ago. The penis room was also closed, not sure what was worse.

I was there a week ago and it still wasn't back. The penis room was wide open though.

When I to the Naples Archaeological museum website, I get the following.

NOTICE

The Epigraphic, Egyptian, Gems and Numismatics sections will remain closed to the public until further notice, for reorganization and extraordinary maintenance work.

From Monday 20 January 2025, room XXXVIII of the Campania Romana Section, rooms XXV, XXVI, XXVII and XXVIII of the Farnese collection and will be closed until further notice for extraordinary maintenance work. We apologize for the inconvenience

I hope the mosaic will be available in May of this year.
