If the world as we know it were to end today, how would future civilizations remember Houston? What would they make of the Astrodome, the Space Center complex, the sculptures lining Buffalo Bayou and Hermann Park? What would they learn about us? What artifacts would they excavate from our neighborhoods, our houses, our bedrooms? These are questions raised by The Exhibition, the Houston Museum of Natural Scienceâs jaw-dropping journey to Ancient Rome set to debut February 13. By combining modern multimedia records, a reproduced Roman villa, casts of human remains, and 150 artifactsâincluding 10 items never seen before in the United Statesâon loan from the Naples National Archaeological Museum in Italy, the museum transports visitors nearly 2,000 years through the past to Ancient Rome, offering them an unparalleled glimpse into the daily lives of Roman citizens.
