These new projected animations really make the altars stand out and add greatly to the Hadrian’s Wall gallery in the museum.” https://museumcrush.org/roman-altars-reveal-their-true-colours/amp/ This should be a wonderful exhibit. We offer forget that the Ancient Rome was brilliantly colored: the clothes, buildings, alters, and monuments.
