THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE — Journey to 79 A.D and experience life in the bustling city of Pompeii. See intricate Gladiator helmets and shin guards, perfectly preserved artifacts including jewelry, mosaics and statues, and feel the force of the eruption in a CGI simulated theater experience. The exhibit culminates in the reveal of full body casts-asphyxiated by extreme heat and noxious gases and forever frozen in time. Don’t miss this limited time exhibition!

“The recovered relics were awesome, Gladiator gear, coins, tools, fresco paintings and plaster poured remains. The surround sound & accompanying video gave me chills when it demonstrated how the eruption occurred throughout the day.”
