Visit the Oklahoma City Museum of Art between now and Oct. 17 to travel in spirit back to Pompeii and the surrounding region before Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D.
Looking at the 80 artifacts and artworks in “Painters of Pompeii,” you’ll get a glimpse of what life was like in ancient Rome as you see these well-preserved wall paintings – known as frescoes – that were painted directly on the walls of homes in the ancient Roman city.
The exhibit, subtitled “Roman Frescoes from the National Archaeological Museum, Naples,” is a remarkable exhibit, especially if you take the time to read the interesting captions beside each of the frescoes. I learned a lot about the Roman myths and characters that are key to understanding ancient Rome, as well as what homes looked like at that time.
