Hello, this is from a tourist information document:

"..., son también numerosos los museos y centros temáticos donde el Toro, el Caballo, el Flamenco y el Vino, toman protagonismo"

Thanks for your help

Explanation:
sounds more like this to me - a themed heritage centre
(a bit like the White Cliffs Experience at Dover, etc.;))

thanks, I am sure this is a pretty good translation: toros, vino, flamenco etc. are certainly part of the region in question's "heritage"

interpretive centre / interpretative centre


Explanation:
I would not use the word theme. I think this is what we call interpretive centres in English. See below for some examples with regards to wine.

Explanation:
Not sure whether this would fit, or whether it still wrongly gives the idea of a theme park.

I think Rachel's on the right track with the White Cliffs of Dover Experience, but not sure how best to name these.
