The Painters of Pompeii: Roman Frescoes to open June 2021 and exhibited through September 26, 2021 only at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art in the U.S.
More than 80 richly colored frescoes and artifacts from excavations in Pompeii and Herculaneum in the National Archaeological Museum, Naples will be on display in the United States only at the single venue of the Oklahoma City Museum of Art next June. In addition to ancient paintings with bold colors and designs ranging from mythology to landscapes to gardens to architecture, the exhibition will also explore the world of the ancient Roman painter and offer a glimpse into the process, materials and techniques that were used to create these frescoes. The exhibit will be accompanied by classes presenting virtual visits to Naples and southern Italy and exploring archaeology, Roman deities and mythology, in a series of lectures by renowned classicists and art historians.
