Pompeii. Life and Death in the Shadow of Vesuvius
from 1 Jan 2020 at Archaeological Museum of Kraków
· Kraków
In 2020, the Archaeological Museum of Krakow, Poland, hosted a temporary exhibition dedicated to Pompeii — the Roman city famously destroyed and preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The exhibition offered visitors an immersive journey into daily life, culture, and the dramatic fate of one of antiquity's most captivating urban centers. Through artifacts, reconstructions, and historical evidence recovered from the volcanic ash, the show explored what it meant to live — and die — in the shadow of Vesuvius.
