#521 A Day in Pompeii

Posted by Tara Peterson on Mon, Oct 03, 2011

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.
