The large white panel at the back is the Forma Urbis Pompeiorum.

This is a plan of Pompei cut onto a 5m wide slab of travertine and was completed in 1947.

This is in an area known as the Lararia dei Pompeianisti.

It was opened in 1948 and had the busts of Fiorelli, Ruggiero and Mau there. 

The busts of Maiuri and Della Corte were added later.
