If you love History, you can not miss POMPEII: The Exhibition. The third floor of the Arizona Science Center has been transformed in to the ancient city of POMPEII. The exhibit not only showcases ancient artifacts but also has an interactive theater setting, where you will experience the catastrophic eruption Mount Vesuvius. Even though it destroyed the city at the same time it preserved it for all of us to experience. The exhibit last day in Phoenix is May 28th.
I have partnered with the Arizona Science Center and I’m giving- away 4 VIP tickets to some lucky winners. So book the babysitter or get a hold of your girlfriends for a fun time in the town. Science is not boring they have a after-hours grown-up night.
To enter the #giveaway simply sign up for our newsletter. Winners will be announced Friday, April 6th.
POMPEII: THE EXHIBITION
On August 24, 79 A.D., the Roman city of Pompeii was frozen in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius, burying everything in its path for more than 1700 years. The same ash and debris from Vesuvius’ unpredicted eruption that destroyed the city also remarkably preserved it.
In this blockbuster exhibition, guests become time travelers, transported to the bustling commercial port and strategic military and trading center of Pompeii. Over 200 precious artifacts on loan from the unparalleled collection of the Naples National Archaeological Museum in Italy, including wall-sized frescoes, mosaics, marble and bronze sculptures, jewelry, statues and ancient Roman coins, bring to life how Pompeii’s people lived, loved, work, worshiped and celebrated. In perhaps the most powerful portion of the exhibition, exquisite body casts of adults and children vividly communicate the emotions of the victims.
Until next time,
Sandra
