Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to present a comprehensive overview of the new interactive exposition centre at Aquae Calidae, Burgas, Bulgaria, which was opened in 2022. Innovative technologies for digitalization and presentation of cultural heritage have been incorporated into the centre to provide visitors with a captivating journey through time and immersive experiences. The focus is on the utilization of the famous historical place into a modern tourist complex with a replica of a Roman bath with hot mineral water and an interactive museum with room featuring 3D mapping to transport visitors to different historical eras, 3D glasses for virtual reality (VR) displaying the digitalized objects and representation of the ancient baths interior, interactive floor games utilizing authentic artifacts, and a photo challenge that captures the visitors in four time periods. By exploring the implementation and impact of these technologies, this paper seeks to highlight the significance of such interactive experiences in promoting cultural appreciation, education and tourism.
