Buried by thick layers of ash and mud from the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79 the erotic art of Pompeii has enthralled, and embarrassed, audiences since its rediscovery in the 18th century. These explicit, salacious paintings of ancient Rome will rival any page of today's most popular steamy novels. Join the Young Friends of the Penn Museum as they explore the murals and mosaics of Pompeii with Dr. Brian Rose, James B. Pritchard Professor of Archaeology and Curator-in-Charge of the Mediterranean Section at this annual Valentine's event. Cocktail reception to follow. Cash Bar starting at 6:00 pm.General Admission: $10Penn Museum Members: $5
