The Circular Bath
Intermittent film projections of life-sized male bathers moving
around beside the bath have been projected onto the east
and west walls of this cold plunge pool, from a high level.
We have chosen a moment when soldiers and civilians from all
over the Roman Empire would have mingled in the baths here. Bathing
was usually segregated, and so we have imagined a male bathing
session on a typical day in about 200AD.
The West Baths
As well as making changes to the walkways we have
improved the decoration and interpretation of this area.
The Shops
Both shops have been refurbished as part of our ongoing
programme of shop improvements. The lower museum shop has new
entry arrangements to recognize the revised visitor flow through
the museum, all of which will now pass this shop.
The range of shop products is closely linked to the site and is
rich in quality images to help visitors to share their
experiences.
York Street
We will now explore opportunities to extend the visit into the
adjacent void under York Street and if possible introduce new
activities and interpretation that will appeal to an ever
widening range of visitors.
