Just as thermal water is not just water, the Museum of Thermalism in Montegrotto Terme is not just a museum. In fact, it offers a true experience that takes the visitor back millennia thanks to contemporary technologies and innovations.

WHY THE MUSEUM OF ANCIENT THERMALISM AND THE REGION IS WORTH A VISIT

In addition to the archaeological exhibits that tell the story of Euganean thermalism, the museum features 5 journeys designed to arouse the curiosity of every visitor and to tell the story in a special and interesting way.

HOW DOES THERMAL WATER COME INTO BEING?

In an immersion room at a temperature of 180°, you can enjoy full immersion in the thermal water journey, from the subsoil to the outflow. Visitors also discover the origins of the Euganean Hills and why they are closely connected to the phenomenon of thermalism.

WHAT DID THE ANCIENTS THINK OF THERMAL WATER?

Lacking the scientific knowledge of today, the men and women of the past linked the benefits of thermal water to the action of the deities of the time. This is why visitors can explore the ancient spas with an interactive map and consult a contemporary, customisable oracle.

WHAT WERE ANCIENTS BATH LIKE?

An interactive floor installation allows the visitor to walk on the waters of an ancient thermal spring and a multi-sensory timeline presents evidence of the ancient exploitation of thermal water.

WHAT DO THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS IN THE EUGANEAN AREA TELL US?

Admire the reproduction of an ancient thermal water transport system and a virtual and dynamic reconstruction of a Roman villa, as well as the real skeletons of the ancient inhabitants of Montegrotto Terme.

WHEN DID SPAS BECOME WHAT WE KNOW TODAY?

This is explained in the fascinating museum through the story of Salvatore Mandruzzato, who, in the 1700s, used his scientific approach to remind us of the importance of thermal water, mud and steam for wellness.

Between bathing in thermal waters and enjoying a mud therapy, guests of Hotel Tritone can also immerse themselves in the history of the thermal baths by visiting this fascinating museum. Simply ask our reception staff to help you organise a visit to the Museum of Ancient Thermalism and the Region.
