About the exhibition -
The exhibition focuses on the homes and lives of the inhabitants of the thriving industrial hub of Pompeii and the small seaside town of Herculaneum nearly 2,000 years ago when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD. This exhibition is the first ever held on these important cities at the British Museum, and the first such major exhibition in London for almost 40 years. The exhibition has a unique focus, looking at the Roman homes and the people who lived in them in these ill-fated cities. Also on display to the public for the first time will be finely sculpted marble reliefs, intricately carved ivory panels and fascinating objects found in one of the main drains of the city.

‘This exhibition offers an overarching view of a complex society…we glimpse their sense of humour, or understand their hopes or desires…see what they chose to try to rescue as they tried to make their doomed escapes.’ The Times
