  "Exhibits of the rarity, emotional content, quality and name-recognition of Pompeii are hard to find," said Michael Sullivan, Exploreum Executive Director.
  ...
  "Most poignant and compelling, however, are the body casts of the volcano's victims included in the exhibition," noted Sullivan.The casts provide surprisingly detailed images of Pompeii's citizens, frozen in their last moments - a man holding a cloth to his mouth; a couple embracing as they fell, a slave with an ankle manacle still in place.The haunting figures were first made in the 1860s by pouring plaster into the cavities left in the thick volcanic materials after the bodies of the trapped victims decayed.
  
  Few other exhibits offer visitors such an emotional and personal connection with individuals who lived 2000 years ago."How particularly meaningful for Gulf Coast residents, post Katrina, to share the experiences of residents of another seaside community that was also terribly impacted by Mother Nature," added Sullivan.
  
  The Exploreum has scheduled complementary IMAX® and Virtual Journeys programs in its two specialty theaters to show concurrently with the Pompeii exhibition."As always, we will use the Exploreum's leading-edge imaging technologies to ‘bump up' the visitor's experience to eye-popping, ‘you-are-there' levels," Sullivan said.
  ...
  "With the Exploreum's experience and reputation with blockbuster shows, the timing and length of our dates and the complementary ‘you-are-there' IMAX and 3D experiences, we expect up to 150,000 visitors will see Pompeii in Mobile," added Sullivan.

  "The whole approach looks good to us. [MediaMerge] fills a very good niche," states Mike Sullivan, an early pioneer of the IMAX theater industry.Sullivan started in 1971 as the Director of the Ruben H. Fleet Science Center IMAX Theater in San Diego, California, the first IMAX theater to open in the United States.Since then Sullivan has consulted on more than fifty IMAX theaters worldwide and now serves as the Executive Director of the Gulf Coast Exploreum.
