Blue Frescoes of Pompei

...a room of blue walls, and great new frescoes!


The video doesn't  do them justice, but shows the size of the room.

Colossal newsletter posted about them HERE.

Archaeologists continue to uncover the area known as Insula 10 of Pompeii’s Regio IX neighborhood, and a recent finding includes a stunning sky-blue sacrarium, a space for ritual and conservation of sacred objects. Brilliant red lines the niches, where statues and other devotional iconography likely stood.


Researchers believe the room was used for storage during a larger renovation when Mount Vesuvius erupted.
