The Last Days of Pompeya

From October 1 to December 31, 2026, Bombas Gens hosts the immersive exhibition «Los últimos días de Pompeya» (The Last Days of Pompeii), centred on the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The route recreates Roman roads and frescoes from the Villa of the Mysteries, and includes gladiator combats recreated through immersive projections and virtual reality headsets, combining the archaeological narrative with immersive audiovisual resources.

The venue

The exhibition is set up at Bombas Gens, on Avenida de Burjassot, 54. The building occupies a former art deco water-pump factory, converted into a centre for contemporary art and photography. Since it's an indoor route with projections, it works as an alternative when the weather doesn't cooperate; the guide to what to do in Valencia when it rains collects other indoor plans to round out the day.

Unconfirmed details

The listing does not include the admission price or the hall's opening hours, so it's worth checking these through official ticket sales before visiting. It also does not specify the average length of the visit, whether advance booking with an assigned time slot is required, whether the virtual reality headsets are available at all time slots and for all ages, or whether the route is accessible for people with reduced mobility.
