We saw the terra cotta warriors at Nat Geo Museum in DC and it made me want to go see them in situ!<br /><br />I remember seeing films in the 1960's about the casts of the bodies and being horrifically fascinated.It sounds like the artifacts make it "real" to us.SouthLakesMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822510653198676631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686754906089902443.post-9088153487335677812012-07-08T11:33:16.838-04:002012-07-08T11:33:16.838-04:00We lived in Cincinnati for three years while my hu...We lived in Cincinnati for three years while my husband did his residency.

It is a traveling exhibit, but I don't know where it might go next. Here's the website:<br /><br />http://www.cincymuseum.org/pompeii<br /><br />Also, the Museum Center is in the 1920s era Union Terminal, which is a magnificent structure with gorgeous artwork in and of itself.

I remember when Mount St. Helens blew it all seemed so surreal.

I have a friend from Sicily - she says they used to sit on their balcony and watch Etna roil and erupt, just like we watch tv. Good gosh.<br /><br />Those columns are exquisite - they look amazingly like William Morris' work. Maybe he took some of his designs from them.
