The Last Days of Pompeii: The Immersive Exhibition

The Last Days of Pompeii: The Immersive Exhibition transports visitors back to 79 AD, blending dramatic storytelling with cutting-edge technology to bring the doomed Roman city to life in London this November. 

Spanning over 2,000 square metres at Immerse LDN, the strictly limited 16-week event delivers a multisensory journey through multiple rooms, showcasing reconstructed Roman architecture, vivid frescoes, artefacts and replicas.

Visitors encounter meticulously recreated streets and domestic scenes, giving a textured sense of Pompeii’s vibrant daily life before catastrophe struck. The tour then transitions to a moving display of ash-cast citizens, underscored by immersive projections that capture both the vitality and sudden destruction of the city.

The exhibition’s highlights include a 360-degree digital experience, a seated VR adventure where visitors enter the coliseum and witness a gladiator fight, exploring the legendary Villa of Mysteries in the metaverse, and interactive installations like an AI photobooth that transforms guests into ancient patricians. 

Designed for all ages, the exhibition features an evocative original score, inviting both education and emotional connection as guests witness one of history’s most dramatic events unfold.
