The programme, dubbed Pannonia Provincia Programme, will start in April. When completed, visitors will get a high-tech presentation of the history of the site at an information centre and play virtual games in an interactive area.
The Pannonia Provincia Programme offers the opportunity to present accurate scientific knowledge in an enjoyable way with the most up-to-date technology, said museum director Paula Zsidi.
The funding for the programme is being topped up by HUF 33 million from the Budapest Municipal Council,
Acquincum lies near the Ripa Pannonica, part of the Roman limes, the line of fortifications the Romans built to protect their empire. Hungary submitted a nomination in the summer for inscription of the Ripa Pannonica on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
An initiative has been adopted to create a unique World Heritage Site including the entire Roman limes as they stood in the 2nd century AD. Three properties have already been inscribed on the World Heritage list: Hadrian's Wall (1987), the Upper German and Raetian Limes (2005) and the Antonine Wall (2008).
"The Ripa Pannonica is being put forward as an extension to the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site because it fits well into the context of this World Heritage Site," according to the nomination.
