The Last Days of Pompeii takes visitors on a journey to the Roman city destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Combining historical storytelling with cutting-edge technology, the exhibition offers a glimpse into everyday life in one of the most fascinating cities of the Roman Empire and allows visitors to experience the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, one of the most dramatic events in history.

With more than 1500 square metres of installations, the exhibition features spectacular 360º immersive projections, virtual reality experiences, interactive spaces, and a selection of historical reproductions and artefacts that transport visitors back to ancient Pompeii.

After the tour, you'll be dropped in central Valencia for sightseeing, shopping or a bite to eat.

Special invite

Peter Banks is currently exhibiting his photosculptures at the La Llotega gallery in Valencia (near the central market). And he has formally invited all u3a members to come and see his exhibition. There's no charge to view the exhibition.

Combining photographic imagery with three-dimensional construction materials—including card, timber, wire, acrylic, glass, and mirror—Peter’s works range from intimate, hand-held pieces to large-scale gallery installations.
