Travel back over 2,000 years with the help of VR as you step into the immersive experience known as The Last Days of Pompeii: The Immersive Exhibition! Wander ancient Roman streets, come face-to-face with gladiators, and examine expertly replicated artefacts. This experience features 360-degree cinematic rooms, a Metaverse arena, Virtual Reality, and so much more.

The exhibition is on a limited 16-week run that began in November 2025. Its home during its stay in London is the ExCeL Waterfront. It is open daily, with adult tickets starting at £24. This price includes at least 90 minutes inside multiple rooms and interactive displays related to Pompeii. While all ages are welcome, the experience is recommended for ages 5+ due to the nature of the activities.

While this review follows our visit to the London exhibition, you can find this experience all across Europe. It is currently running in Brussels and Frankfurt, and has previously visited Berlin and Vienna, with future locations pending. Keep an eye out for a location closer to you if you are unable to make it to London!

Similar experiences have become widely popular recently, such as The Legend of the Titanic and Horizon of Khufu, both of which have appeared in London over the last few years. Each offers something unique, but they all share the same goal: bringing history to life through modern technology.
