Bettany Hughes and Peter Snow, presenters for Pompeii Live, are joined by guests including Neil MacGregor, Mary Beard, Rachel de Thame, Giorgio Locatelli, and exhibition curator Paul Roberts for this special tour of The British Museum's 2013 exhibition 'Life and death in Pompeii and Herculaneum.' The exhibition takes you back to AD 79 to reveal how life was altered when Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried by the calamitous eruption of Mount Vesuvius.


The two cities lay preserved beneath the ash, their rediscovery now giving us a singular and unique glimpse into the daily life of the Roman Empire. Join the tour of this blockbuster exhibition that transports us to the heart of Pompeii and Herculaneum.



"This kind of innovative broadcasting - unthinkable even five years ago - has opened up new ways of sharing knowledge and accessing objects for adult and young audiences alike," said MacGregor.


Join the live stream that excited five-star reviews from critics with the Daily Telegraph noting, "the quality of much of what has come to London beggars belief."


Life and death in Pompeii and Herculaneum was sponsored by Goldman Sachs. The exhibition was a collaboration with Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Napoli e Pompei.


Running time: 88 minutes

Pompeii Live sounds like a fascinating way to make archaeology accessible beyond the museum itself. The combination of expert commentary and preserved everyday objects offers a remarkable glimpse into Roman life, while the live broadcast makes that experience available to a much wider audience. That same curiosity and exploration can carry into gaming too, where discovering item details matters before making decisions. Players can use a Blox Fruits trade value guide to check values and make more informed trades.

I love the idea of ​​bringing a large exhibition to livestream so that more people can access historical knowledge and artifacts more easily. Pompeii Live is not just a tour program, but also a way to retell the past in a relatable and engaging way for both adults and young audiences. Incidentally, I'd like to share Block Blast, a relaxing game to enjoy when you have some free time.
