I recently visited the new exhibition, Pompeii:The Immortal City at the AMA. As a bit of a history buff, I wanted to know more about the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 CE, and this exhibit did not disappoint! It includes over 100 artifacts, an immersive experience of the eruption, one of the famous (and poignant) plaster body casts of a victim, and paintings of Roman citizens brought to life through AI. The museum staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the museum is located in the heart of the Arlington Entertainment District, so there is plenty to see and do before or after your visit.
