The Last Days of Pompeii—The Exhibition in Berlin Takes You Back to Ancient Rome
Step into the vibrant world of Pompeii just before disaster struck. This immersive exhibition lets you experience the everyday life of its people moments before Mount Vesuvius erupted. Through breathtaking virtual reality and lifelike replicas, history comes alive in all its intensity.
A Journey Through Time—Experience Pompeii Like Never Before
The exhibition The Last Days of Pompeii is more than a stroll through ancient ruins. It immerses you in the bustling Roman city shortly before its tragic end in 79 AD. Thanks to cutting-edge VR and detailed reconstructions, you’ll walk through Pompeii’s streets and homes as if you were really there.
Virtual Reality—More Than Just Watching
A highlight of the exhibition is the 360-degree Virtual Reality Arena. Here, you’ll find yourself in the heart of Pompeii—wandering its stone streets, watching merchants at work, and sensing the tension in the air just before the eruption.
