Bristol Museum and Art Gallery are showing the Orpheus mosaic for the first time in 150 years.

and it will be part of this exhibition which is a British Museum tour:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Thanks for posting this, will be interesting to see from the conservation point of view. It does appear tt give a good insight into the problems faced when some mosaics are discovered. Personally I'll hang on till the Lod mosaic comes over in June next year. That will be worth a trip to see.

Thank you for posting about this, Moi. Bristol is v. close to me. I had no idea this exhibition was on.
