Alan, I guess you were the lucky one.
I went to the Naples museum two years ago and asked where they had the gladiator gear. The man at the information counter said they did not have them on display because there was no space. When I told him that on the web they were listed as being shown, he changed his tune and said they were at Paestum or possibly Munich. In other words, they had not idea.
An hour later while I was strolling around, there was a woman giving a tour and I asked her about the gladiator gear. She mentioned that if I wrote an email one month earlier making an appointment, that I could have seen them in private.
The best was when I went to the upper floor of the museum, there was a HUGE room with a few paintings on the wall. The entire floor space was totally empty and I began wondering how in the world they had no room.
