Pompeii, the Immortal City @ La Sucrière

Since the end of 2024, Lyon has been hosting an exhibition that takes us to the heart of one of the most mythical ancient cities. The exhibition starts in the year 79 AD, on the fateful day of the famous eruption of Vesuvius that marked the destruction of the city of Pompeii. But for this very special visit, the bodies frozen in ash come to life as a family who accompanies us throughout our discovery. Far from the image of ruins and petrified statues, this immersive exhibition allows us to relive the vibrant daily life of the Pompeians before everything changed.
