The Destruction of Pompeii by Mount Vesuvius, Re-Created with Computer Animation

The ash-preserved ruins of Pompeii have provided historians with a window into just what life in that time and place was like. A Day in Pompeii, an exhibition held at the Melbourne Museum in 2009, gave its visitors a chance to experience Pompeii’s life even more vividly. The exhibition included a 3D theater installation that featured the animation above.
