Step back in time and experience one of nature's most powerful moments through a plethora of priceless artifacts and hands-on multimedia productions. The collections are staged in 79 A.D., just hours before life in Pompeii was simultaneously fixed and lost in time for centuries by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Guests can expect to see over 150 irreplaceable artifacts on loan from Italy, ranging from gladiator armor and weapons to vibrant murals and hand-crafted furniture, alongside beautiful jewelry, medical instruments, cooking ware, and statues. Perhaps the most breathtaking artifacts are the full body casts of those who perished during this incredible volcanic event. Each of these objects provide a comprehensive view of how the people of Pompeii lived, loved, worked, worshipped, and found entertainment before disaster struck. These artifacts are on loan from the unparalleled collections at The Naples National Archaeological Museum in Italy and the Archaeological Park of Pompeii. They are supplemented by projections, audio, video, and photographic murals, which put guests in the middle of this lively hub on its most historic day.

Upon entering the exhibition, guests are transported back to an idyllic Roman city with dramatic reconstructions of Pompeii and the nearby volcano through a stunning video recreation. They will then view the artifact gallery before witnessing thrilling gladiatorial combat through a holographic display. Following this, patrons are completely immersed in a brand-new 4D theater that takes them through the different stages of Mount Vesuvius’ eruption and simulates the massive impact on this ancient city. This all culminates with the reveal of full-body casts of twisted human forms, asphyxiated by extreme heat and noxious gases, forever frozen in time.
