Audiovisual and interactive media provide a new way for the dissemination of historical information, where the audience participates actively, wonders, intervenes and shapes the way the happenings develop. Development "Hellenic Cosmos" continuously evolves. New areas and activities are being developed, so that the Cultural Centre has expanded from the initial 16,000m2 in 1998 to become gradually a cultural park of 60,000m2, which will constitute the meeting place of history, technology and architecture. 1998: "Hellenic Cosmos" is inaugurated with the exhibition on national anniversaries and historical memory, which provided a new dimension in the way we approach the past. 2006: "Tholos" is inaugurated, the new semi-spherical Virtual Reality theatre where FHW's digital productions are presented. 2008: "THEATRON" opens its gates to the public, a multifunctional area that has the ambition of housing contemporary artistic creation and expression.
