Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.

Even if you've already seen the year's exhibition , the shop is a great place to find gifts for quirky people (including yourself). Also, don't miss the kinetic sculpture race . Read more
