Program Description
Event Details
In 79 AD Mount Vesuvius erupted and covered Pompeii with volcanic ash. This event preserved streets, buildings and even humans and animals. Art historian Jeff Mishur examines Roman wall paintings, ancient architecture and artifacts that offer a window into the life and appearance of the ancient city of Pompeii. He will also provide information on the discovery of Pompeii's ruins in 1592 and its impact. The Museum of Science and Industry currently has an exhibit on Pompeii through September 4, 2023.
