A Day in Pompeii

A Day in Pompeii has concluded its run at the Science Museum of Minnesota.

The Roman city of Pompeii was frozen in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Pompeii's archeological treasures rarely leave Italy, and this national touring exhibit marks the first time that these rare treasures will come to Minnesota. Room-sized frescos, marble and bronze sculptures, jewelry, gold coins, and hundreds of priceless ancient artifacts join body casts of the volcano's victims, eerily preserved in their final frantic moments. Don't miss this moving glimpse through a unique window on the ancient past. Acoustiguide Audio Tour included with each admission, available in English and in Spanish. Learn More
