Drama unfolds on stage and in the galleries this month at the Getty Villa!
Explore Pompeii as a modern obsession with The Last Days of Pompeii: Decadence, Apocalypse, Resurrection, opening September 12. From Roman frescoes to modern-day film clips, the exhibition explores how each generation has made the ancient eruption of Mount Vesuvius its own.
Encounter the fierce Greek sculpture Lion Attacking a Horse from the Capitoline Museums, Rome, on view outside Italy for the first time in over two millennia.
And experience this season's Outdoor Theater Production of Euripides' Helen, a fantastical and rarely performed tale of Helen of Troy set at the close of Hollywood's Golden Age, premiering September 6.

Classicist Ruby Blondell explains the challenge the playwright Euripides faced in presenting his Helen as a paradigm of virtue as well as beauty. Free; a ticket is required.
