About the Pompeii: Stories from an Eruption Exhibit:
The city of Pompeii, Herculaneum and many smaller villages around the Bay of Naples were among the richest agricultural and port regions of the Roman Empire. They were destroyed by volcanic lava from the erupting Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and remained buried under the volcanic ash for 16 centuries until their rediscovery in the 17th century.
The Pompeii: Stories from an Eruption Exhibit tells the heart-rending story of the inhabitants who lost their lives and the society that was destroyed in the epic disaster. The exhibit features poignant human casts, valuable jewelry, coins and silver, brilliantly colored frescoes and mosaics and everyday objects such as tools, keys. This remarkable exhibit will provide visitors a window into a world once thought lost.
