And much more!!

Our building is buzzing with activities for young and old: concerts, lectures, exhibitions, educational projects, children's lectures. In addition, it is an ideal space for scientists, genealogists, students and pupils to work on research in peace and quiet. You can walk right in here.

In short: Tresoar is the place to be to discover, research and tell stories physically and/or digitally.

You are most welcome!
