For the first time ever the casts of those immortalized by the violent AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius will be on display together at the L'Antiquarium di Boscoreale, a museum just minutes from Pompeii. The inspiration for this exhibit has been necessitated by the incredulousness of visitors to the fact that these are not mere pieces of art but plaster casts of the unfortunate caught in the terror emitted by Mount Vesuvius.
