365 Things to Do in Boston - New Tips Daily

Head to the Museum of Science until February 12th and check out their exhibit of Pompeii! (Something that has always fascinated me as a kid, and still does today).

 

Get a glimpse of daily life in Pompeii, one of Imperial Rome's most cosmopolitan cities. Hundreds of artifacts — including body casts of the volcano's victims — bring to light the vibrancy of this bustling resort town, but the darkening skies ahead and violent sounds of Vesuvius spewing ash and debris signal imminent danger.

Where: The Museum of Science
When: Now until February 12th
Price: I believe it's $18-$20 to admission into the museum.

Like screaming? Like to be scared?
