26th June 2009	A Day in Pompeii Melbourne Museum today opened its doors to an exciting new exhibition entitled, A Day in Pompeii. The catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius on 24 August 79 AD produced a vast storm of pumice and volcanic ash that buried the town of Pompeii. Like a time capsule, the town – its businesses and homes, gardens and shops – was encased for almost 2,000 years. Game Audio Australia provided over thirteen hours of audio material for the exhibition, including music and sound design, as well as Latin dialogue that was recorded with help from the University of Queensland.
