Delmanor Elgin Mills Visits R.O.M!

With all of the media coverage surrounding this wonderful exhibit, along with stories from friends & family members, the residents of Delmanor Elgin Mills were thrilled to have the opportunity to visit the Pompeii Exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum.

The residents were transported back in time to almost two thousand years ago when a volcano in Southern Italy - Mount Vesuvius, erupted with tremendous force and little warning.  Within 24 hours, the nearby city of Pompeii was buried under a rain of hot ash and falling debris, that then laid undiscovered for over 1600 years.

All of the residents that attended the R.O.M exhibit were fortunate that they had already visited Pompeii in person.  This in-depth display of artifacts and information added further to their previous knowledge and personal experiences.

The residents were captivated as they walked through the eruption simulations while learning about how life was for the citizens of Pompeii before the eruption, and of the absolute devastation that it caused.

As a fun addition to the display, residents were given the opportunity to dress up as Italian warriors and visit a traditional marketplace replica.  All of the Delmanor Elgin Mills residents that attended the R.O.M exhibit had a wonderful time learning about this historical event.
