U.K. Museum to Encompass Roman Bath Ruins

摘要

A Museum Now Under construction in the English cathedral city of Chichester, near the southern coast of the United Kingdom, has been designed to carefully encompass the remains of an ancient bathhouse that dates to the first century AD, during the Roman occupation of Britain. Construction of the Chichester District Museum began in April and is expected to be completedrnby the autumn of 2011. The nearly ￡7-million (U.S.$11-million), 1,300 m~2 project will feature a reinforced-concrete building more than twice as large as the district's current museum facility, and this new structure will not only incorporate the Roman-era ruins but also showcase other aspects of the area's history and heritage.
