This is your last week to catch "All Roads Lead to Rome: 17th–19th Century Architectural Souvenirs from the Collection of #Piraneseum!" See Rome the way Charles Dickens saw it in the mid nineteenth century: "Here was Rome indeed at last; and such a Rome as no one can imagine in its full and awful grandeur! We wandered out upon the Appian Way, and then went on, through miles of ruined tombs and broken walls…past the tomb of Cecilia Metella…the most picturesque and beautiful clusters of arches; broken temples; broken tombs. A desert of decay, somber and desolate beyond all expression; and with a history in every stone that strews the ground.” Charles Dickens, Pictures from Italy (1846) See "All Roads Lead to #Rome: 17th–19th Century Architectural Souvenirs from the Collection of #Piraneseum", on display, pre-security, in the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/AllRoadsRome
