The Thermenmuseum in Heerlen contains the remnants of a gigantic Roman bathhouse that is 2,500 m2 in size. This is the Netherlands' best preserved Roman building at 2000 years old. The new exhibition will open in the spring of 2012: Roman Heerlen; the true story. The exhibition answers the question what the Romans' arrival meant for South Limburg.
