The Last Days of Pompeii 2026
By Charlotte Stace
The Last Days of Pompeii turns ancient history into an incredible spectacle, using immersive projections, soundscapes, virtual reality and interactive installations to recreate the Roman city before disaster struck. It’s both an exhibition and digital theatre, inviting us to walk through streets, villas and public spaces as Pompeii comes back to life.
The experience moves between archaeology and drama, with recreations of daily Roman life, the Villa of the Mysteries, gladiator battles and the looming eruption of Mount Vesuvius. There are also real artefacts and detailed replicas, grounding the digital effects in the material world of the ancient city.
After success in cities including Madrid, London, Vienna and Beijing, the exhibition arrives in Barcelona as a fun and family-friendly journey through one of history’s most famous catastrophes. Tickets begin at 16.50 euros.
