Utrecht: First visitor experience centre opens in May
29 January 2010
The building contractor is ready. The Domplein movie gets a finishing touch and audiovisual techniques are ready to be installed. All preparations for the first visitor experience centre of Initiative Domplein. This will be located in the medieval basement of the Utrecht School of Arts and is due to open in May.
In the walls of the basement archaeologist of the city of Utrecht recently discovered large remains of the Roman castellum wall. These remains gave an unexpected opportunity to provide the visitor an authentic experience of two thousand years of history. A visit of the centre will be combined with a guided tour on the Dom square, using a life guide or a gps application.
Meanwhile Initiative Domplein works closely together with the archaeologists of the city of Utrecht on the program of requirements for the second visitor experience centre. More news of this project in the next newsletter.
