The Rome exhibition was excellent! Very well curated and set out. - based around some key themes (Empire, Power, People) - well structured without having to many artifacts. - good sound and visual effects - space to walk around and take in the exhibition - a quality 2 hours well spent.

Entry to the Rome exhibition was very smooth using the app. I particularly enjoyed the imaginative use of ai imagery, especially the Then and Now section, looking at the sites of old palaces and the Colosseum, what they looked like then and now. So many of the exhibits were plaques and statues of the deceased, particularly of children, due to the high infant mortality rate. It is obivous they were as grief stricken as we would be at the loss of a child. Fully recommend this exhibition.

See the world of Ancient Rome through the Empire, Power, People exhibit at Melbourne Museum, featuring over 150 original artefacts from across the Roman Empire.

Journey through immersive displays that reveal Roman politics, culture and daily life, from powerful emperors to ordinary citizens.

Experience rare treasures from Italian museums, brought together in Australia for the first time for a truly unforgettable encounter with history.

I found the layout of the exhibition perfectly fine. The artifacts were lovely. I would have liked to have had more artifacts if possible, but it was in a great location at the museum. I think it is very instructional. A lot of kids should see this, and I'm very happy to have gone there.
