Can't get immersed

 

I recently found out about an immersive exhibition that is or was in London (it might be closing soon).  It is entitled "The Last Days of Pompeii", and from what I've seen of the video, which I have of course provided here, it gives an immersive experience of what it could have been like to be in Pompeii when Vesuvius went Plinian.

That means when it had the massive eruption in AD 79 that buried Pompeii in ash and Herculaneum in a pyroclastic flow, preserving the buildings, art, floors, and even some of the people for posterity.

I'd like to see this exhibition, but it doesn't look like it's scheduled for the USA at this time.



Here are a couple of still shots.
