Pompeii was an ancient Roman city near modern-day Naples that was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius over a period of 48 hours in 79 AD.
From June 26 to October 25, 2009, the Melbourne Museum hosted an exhibit, “A Day in Pompeii,” a 3D theater installation that allowed visitors to experience the horror of this event. Watched by more than 330,000 people, it was the most popular traveling exhibit staged by an Australian museum.
