Explore the tension between human memory and disaster through three objects from the ancient Roman world that survived through different means. One was preserved by a sudden volcanic eruption, one was buried by earthquake, and one was salvaged from a campaign of political erasure. Together, they help us understand how archaeology pieces together the fragments of the past when human history and nature collide.
Meet in Cochrane Atrium to participate.

VMFA’s “3 in 30” programs are offered in-person on the first Tuesday of every month. Curators and educators discuss works in the permanent collection and in special exhibitions, considering different themes found across the collection, artistic movements, or a single artist’s body of work.
“3 in 30” programs are free and open to the public.
