OUTDOOR THEATER
Vesuvius Explodes! by Kiel Johnson
10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Artist Kiel Johnson sculpted a massive model (standing 8' tall and 18' wide) of Mount Vesuvius at the moment of eruption—billowing smoke and all!
Fleeing Pompeii — A Captured Moment with Snap Yourself
11:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Become a part of the pictorial tradition of fleeing Vesuvius! Strike a pose with your loved ones, inspired by the paintings on view in Floor 2 of the Museum's galleries. The professional photographers of Snap Yourself will create a unique family portrait "in flight," shot before the panoramic landscape of the smoldering volcano.
EDUCATION COURT
Design a PyroDrama!
First session: 10:00 a.m.–noon
Second session: 1:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m.
Become a theatrical designer and create set pieces for the PyroDrama performances in the Auditorium later in the day (see below). You can also construct Pompeian stage props, see them used by actors onstage, and finally bring them home as souvenirs after the show.

Vesuvius Cone Heads: Kapow Wow! — with Marni Gittleman
10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. (last seating at 4:30 p.m.)
Construct a volcanic cone to wear home on your head. Let your imagination erupt with ideas as you craft cascading bits of red-hot lava!
Flaming Frames
10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. (last seating at 4:30 p.m.)
Craft the perfect frame for the photo you'll create at "Fleeing Pompeii." Decorate your creation with lava and flames to "frame your escape" from Vesuvius.
INNER PERISTYLE
Music Inspired by The Last Days of Pompeii — with dublab
10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
The dublab DJs spin musical sets inspired by the three themes of the exhibition: decadence, apocalypse, and resurrection. These curated sets reflect Pompeii and its influence on popular culture and the world psyche.

AUDITORIUM
Pyrodrama – Theater Workshop and Performance with Sam Robinson

First rehearsal and performance: 1–1:30 p.m.
Second workshop: 3:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.
Second rehearsal and performance: 4:00–4:30 p.m.
In a one-hour workshop session, kids learn the power of creative communication through theater techniques such as gesture, facial expression, and body position. In the optional rehearsal session that follows, kids then work with professional actors to create living stage pictures (once called tableaux vivants), inspired by art in the Pompeii exhibition. Rehearsal then culminates in a performance spectacle on the Auditorium stage: The Last Days of Pompeii!!
