Vivire a Pompeii

The art exhibit Vivire a Pompeii at the Yokohoma Museum of Art will close in a couple weeks (13 June). The exhibit is about life in Pompeii before its destruction by the volcanic explosion of Vesuvius in 49 AD.

The exhibit is in Japanese with little to no English explanations or audio guides. However educator resources and an audio guide to a similar exhibit, A Day in Pompeii are available at these links.
