Pompeii: The Party That Never Ended (Until It Did)
So, you're wondering how long this Pompeii party is going to last in Chicago, huh? Well, let's get this straight: Vesuvius didn't exactly send out save-the-dates. But fear not, history buff! We've got the lowdown on this epic exhibit.
A Volcanic Vacation Gone Wrong
Imagine planning a vacation to Naples, only to have your trip cut short by a rather dramatic volcanic eruption. That was basically Pompeii's luck. Now, millions of years later, we're all invited to the ultimate housewarming party – minus the lava, of course.
How Long Can You Party in Pompeii?
The good news is, the Pompeii exhibit in Chicago has been extended! You can now experience the thrill of walking through a frozen-in-time city until January 15, 2024. That's right, you have plenty of time to dust off your toga and practice your Latin curse words (just kidding about the latter).
Don't Be a Vesuvius Victim: Plan Your Visit
If you're thinking, "I'm going to Pompeii-inate this exhibit," we applaud your enthusiasm. But remember, this isn't a casual stroll through the park. It's a journey back in time. So, plan your visit wisely.
Here's a tip: Buy your tickets in advance. You don't want to be standing outside, fuming like Vesuvius, because you didn't plan ahead. Trust us, even the Romans had a better ticketing system.
