Pompeii at the National Museum of Australia
While the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE destroyed the city, it also preserved it in remarkable detail. For almost 300 years, excavations have been uncovering the secrets of daily life in Pompeii. New archaeological work has revealed even more, helping us to preserve and understand this incredible city.

Between 2018 and 2020, archaeologists made extraordinary discoveries: large homes adorned with intricate frescoes and mosaics, everyday household items, and even a snack bar with food still in the pots.
For the first time ever outside Europe, visitors can view these newly uncovered treasures—stunning frescoes, jewellery, sculptures, pottery, and more, showcasing daily life in this ancient city.
Pompeii is coming to the National Museum of Australia from mid-December until May 2025.
