Explore the treasures uncovered from the ruins of Pompeii, the famous Italian city destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. From common cookware to delicate jewelry, the artifacts were preserved in the ashes for more than 2,000 years – and are now available for viewing.

The exhibit offers a look at the ancient port city before and after the eruption, focusing on the life and culture of its citizens — a culture portrayed in its surviving statues, military armor, and pottery. The destruction of Pompeii is also brought to life in the 4D Eruption Theater, which illustrates the timeline of the city’s collapse and allows visitors to experience what the final moments may have been like. Body casts are also on display.

For additional opportunities to learn about the geographical impacts of volcanoes, The Rangos Giant Cinema is also showing VOLCANOES: The Fires of Creation .
