Dr. Rodriguez, visiting curator of the A Day in Pompeii exhibit, presents the final hours of Pompeii as related in letters by Pliny the Younger, who watched events unfold from a safe distance at Misenum. He tells of his uncle, Pliny the Elder, who was in charge of the Roman fleet stationed on the Bay of Naples and who met his death during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.

I watched a Pompeii movie in 6th grade wich was like a scarry movie. I couldn't imagin being in Pompeii. Also in the movie they mentioned there might have been an earlier explotion befor e the one they're talking about now. I thought it was a verry intresting movie.

i think that the exibit was very interesting. the coolest part was the plastered bodies and seeing their last minutes of trying to escape. The one if the dog is really sad because he couldnt escape, he was chained. poor puppy ]: its really neat that theywere able to see the bodies preserved like that, it so realistic and really gives you a feel of what it was like.
