New Media Art Center: The Last Days of Pompeii Exhibition

See the influence of the Roman Empire and daily life through exhibits and VR adventures. Walk ancient streets, explore the Villa of Mysteries, and watch a gladiator fight up close. It is the year AD 79. Pompeii, a southern Italian trading city, thrives as one of the richest cities of the Roman Empire. Situated on a plateau, about ten kilometers south of Mount Vesuvius, its residents have a view of the Gulf of Naples. Unknowingly, they are on the verge of one of antiquity’s biggest disasters: the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
