The British Museum has announced an exciting exhibition for 2013 on Pompeii and Herculaneum, filled with objects recovered from the remains of those archaeological sites.

We present a selection of images of the sites themselves as well as some of Peter Connolly's exceptional reconstructions: there is really no substitute for visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum, although we hope this selection gives you some idea how extraordinary they are!
