Arizona Science Center’s limited time Pompeii exhibition

The Arizona Science Center is taking time-traveling to a new level. For a limited time, visitors can travel back to Pompeii through the museum’s new traveling exhibition.

Through 150 artifacts, the exhibition tells the hidden and forgotten city. The exhibit examines the lives of residents before and after the catastrophic explosion of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.

The displays authentic artifacts on loan from the collections of the Naples National Archaeological museum in Italy and the Archeological Park of Pompeii.

Artifacts include the wardrobe of a Roman soldier consisting of a helmet, body armor, and weapons, as well as every day items like lamps, pots, pans, and more.

Alix Bierson from the Arizona Science Center joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more about the exhibition.
