The Last Days of Pompeii - The Immersive Experience - London
The Last Days of Pompeii brings visitors face-to-face with one of history’s most dramatic and catastrophic moments. Produced by FKPE and MAD - and now in our third collaboration with their team - this immersive exhibition blends storytelling, atmosphere and large-scale digital environments to recreate the final hours of Pompeii as Mount Vesuvius erupts.
Hawthorn & Kent, in partnership with GoPhoto, provided a tailored photography solution designed to complement the exhibition’s dramatic visual world. With a mix of tower capture and elevated “Sky Cam” photography, guests can step into the ancient Roman setting and take home a unique, cinematic memory of their experience. Our system also delivers a fully streamlined guest journey, from capture to order to print, supporting the high visitor throughput of this large-scale show.
