One might argue that the exhibits from the cities of Akrotiri (present-day Santorini) and Pompei bring modern viewers as much pleasure as the anguish felt by the ancient inhabitants who suffered through both cataclysmic events. We will delve into what the remains of these cities and their inhabitants tell us about their lives, as well as reflect on how these eruptions have affected those who have followed.
Please note that the lecture is equally suitable for those who have already seen the exhibition as well as those still planning to go. Why not join us for an interesting evening with some light libations?
