Day in Pompeii January 15, 2009
Charlotte, North Carolina 28202
This compelling exhibition, full of discovery and human drama, features more than 250 authentic artifacts. Most poignant and dramatic are the body casts of the volcano's victims, frozen in their last moments. Beautiful frescoes, jewelry, statues and household items take you back in time to experience life and death in ancient Rome's favorite vacation resort.

Very interesting; used the audio headset, but it tells you exactly the same info written on the wall placards. Kids, unless history buffs, will not find this intriguing; mostly all adults when I visited on a Sunday. Helps to do some on-line research ahead of time to have a better understanding. Awesome artifacts in perfect/near perfect condition. Worth the trip and time.
