The crazy thing is that Pompeii's art was so well preserved by the ash but now it is exposed to the elements and will degrade.

There's almost no original art in Pompeii, it's all in the archeological museum in Naples. There are some reproductions in place in Pompeii, but mostly it's bare brick walls that the art has been scraped from. You need to see the brick walls, then see the art in the museum, then compose the two in your head.
