Walking through the streets of Pompeii in Taipei

By Diane Baker  /  STAFF REPORTER

There is, however, a small theater section where excerpts from the BBC production of Pompeii: The Last Day are being shown. The shows begin on the hour, eight times a day, starting from 10am.

There is also a second English-language video showing up on the second floor as you are exiting the exhibition, which gives you more information about the history and people of Pompeii.

It is worth planning to spend at least two hours at the exhibition just so you can sit through at least part of the BBC film and watch some of the other video and slide shows.
