On May 6th 2012, I went to the Landesmusuem fuer…read moreVorgeschichte in Halle and it is definitely worth a visit. I was especially interested in seeing the Pompeii exhibition. Before entering the museum I had to wait for a short amount of time as only groups of people were allowed in at a time. Once you enter the building it is very astonishing, it is four levels high and set up in a dim light. The exhibition was quite busy with many visitors, still there was enough space to look at each artifact. The exhibition described the eruption of the volcano Vesuv and gave a lot of background of the ancient roman life. The show focused on the everyday life of the Romans such as the housing, fights and politics. On display were videos, paintings, sculptures, pottery and dishes. There were also optional and free tour guides who were friendly and informative. The permanent exhibitions were on the Paleolithic period, Mesolithic period, Neolithic period and the early Bronze Age. Which were all set up beautifully with loads of interesting information but the highlight was without doubt the Pompeii exhibition. I would encourage everyone to visit the Landesmusuem in Halle.
