Difficult to say - the exhibition was good, but we only took just over an hour. It was a reasonably quiet day (weekday out of school holidays so that allowed us to move more freely), however we haven't been to Pompeii so can't compare.

At least two hours. On several occasions we have spent a whole day there, including having lunch at the lovely cafe (with its superb view of the lake) and taking a walk around the grounds.
