Event
Immersive exhibition “The Last Days of Pompeii”
The story of Pompeii stops being a still image in books and becomes an experience to be explored with the senses. “The Last Days of Pompeii”, recognised by National Geographic as Best Historical Exhibition 2024 and seen by more than 850,000 people worldwide, arrives in Barcelona with a proposal that blends historical rigour and immersive technology.
About this event
Visitors travel two thousand years back in time to enter a vibrant Roman city, reconstructed through 360° digital projections, immersive soundscapes and interactive spaces that allow them to explore everyday life before the catastrophe. Villas, streets and objects come to life, while scenes such as gladiator battles and the recreation of the Villa of the Mysteries place the audience at the heart of the Empire.
The experience moves towards a striking finale: the eruption of Vesuvius, recreated with multisensory effects that turn the space into a living narrative. Along the route, virtual reality and digital installations invite visitors to observe, play and understand how an entire city was frozen in time.
More than an exhibition, it is presented as an emotional journey combining archaeology, visual storytelling and cutting-edge technology to rediscover Pompeii from a contemporary perspective.
