Beginning today, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science will be host to a a traveling exhibit of artifacts from Pompeii, one of the most interesting and famous archaeological sites in the world.
The traveling exhibit will feature 250 pieces that illustrate how ancient Romans lived before Mount Vesuvius buried the city of Pompeii with volcanic ash. One of the wonders of the archaeological site has been the degree to which artifacts remained intact.
“The artifacts really represent daily life,” said museum educator Samantha Richards, according to a Post story. “They are things you would have in your home. Things you would eat, places you would go, artifacts representing their religion and their burials — it’s a time capsule of what we think was going on right before the eruption.”
Sounds like an exhibit worth checking out.
