Following the great success of last autumn’s pilot semester, we are preparing a continuation of the Academy of the Third Age with the Museum of the Moravia Wallachia Region. This project is designed for seniors who wish to spend their time meaningfully and are eager to learn new things. Starting in February, the program will take place not only at Vsetín Castle, but newly also at Kinský Castle in Valašské Meziříčí.

You can look forward to five themed meetings with museum experts who will introduce you to the worlds of history, art, nature, and regional highlights. We are also preparing an excursion based on participants’ preferences, as well as a final competition that will playfully test their newly acquired knowledge. All this in a pleasant atmosphere among peers.

Those interested may register now by e-mail at ostranska@muzeumvalassko.cz or by phone at +420 776 202 254. Join a community where age is your greatest advantage and enjoy enjoyable moments of learning, fun, and friendly encounters with us.
