National Museum Of Ravenna, Ravenna, Italy

The entry fee for the National Museum Of Ravenna is included in the combination ticket, and you move through the Museum on the way to the Basilica of San Vitale. The museum is huge and well worth a look. Unfortunately, we were pressed for time in Ravenna and could only look at the marbles on the main floor. Oh… unique to a museum, we were able to take pictures.
