My partner and I were looking for a fun experience in Melbourne, we discovered that Lookout and the Melbourne Museum were hosting a Rome exhibition so we bought a couple tickets. We were so thrilled and fascinated looking at the exhibit. It had timeless Roman artifacts, scultures, paintings and written descriptions that were very informative to us. We loved the use of modern projection that captured a Roman bathhouse, collesuem and past and present architecture. The ticket purchasing was seamless through headout and the museum staff were very helpful and polite, we highly recommend this visit.

Beautiful baths and home scenery set up. Immersed you into the Roman age while you read about their story and saw funerary reliefs, statues and every day items of those long ago people. Great gift shop at the end of the exhibition, immersive learning, child's toy to bring you closer to ancient people who can feel far away at time. This has renewed my interest in Ancient Rome.

Booking my tickets online was easy and quick. I was able to bring up the QR code on my phone for entry to the exhibit. It's nice not to have to try and find a printer that works to print out tickets before heading out.

The ROMA exhibition was truly impressive and beautifully presented. It was a wonderful experience to explore the history, culture, and everyday life of the Roman Empire. The displays, information, and overall atmosphere were excellent. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Melbourne Museum.
