The exhibition Pompeii in Color: The Life of Roman Painting is now on view at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at NYU. Presenting thirty-five frescoes from the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, this exhibition invites visitors to experience the vibrant world of the ancient Roman home as the Pompeians themselves knew it.
If you can’t make it to New York before the exhibition closes on May 29, never fear. An online portal gives access to a number of digital features, including a fly-through video of a 3D re-creation of a Pompeian home, a video commentary by an archaeologist who currently works at Pompeii, and other interactive features that bring the paintings to life in novel ways.
