Recommend this resource
A slideshow of highlights from the exhibition Life and death: Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Preserved under ash, the cities lay buried for just over 1,600 years, their rediscovery providing an unparalleled glimpse into the daily life of the Roman Empire.
This image bank, designed for classroom whiteboard use, showcases objects from the exhibition alongside site photographs. It is an ideal resource to support a school visit to the exhibition, or for schools unable to come to the Museum.
