The Last Days of Pompeii
The Immersive Exhibition
- September 2023
Immerse yourself in the city that was the symbol of the rising power of the Roman Empire. Discover the city and experience first-hand the tragic end that the fury of Vesuvius had in store for them.
A select collection of original archaeological pieces will take you back to that moment in the autumn of 79 when time stood still at the foot of Vesuvius. Enjoy an extraordinary virtual adventure, stroll through the Villa of the Mysteries, interact with its treasures, its paintings, the water in its atrium and the cool breeze in the peristyle of the house. You will also be the protagonist of a fight between gladiators facing numerous beasts!
