We had online tickets for 10 when it opens…and we staggered out 4 hours later having seen most everything except the Egyptian section.
Wow, what a place. Rooms and rooms of massive marble and bronze statues, rooms and rooms of frescos and household items from Pompeii, and a small but fabulous mosaic collection. I have come to love mosaics most of all. We almost missed that particular section because it is on a half-level we only saw as we walked up the multi-level marble stairs.

Words will fail me, so I defer to a few of our photos.

Artifacts from Pompeii were stunning.

The mosaics, ah.
