Core offering

TreM.a is a public museum that preserves, studies, and exhibits medieval and Renaissance art from the Burgundian Netherlands and the Mosan region, with seven permanent collection themes anchored by the Treasure of Oignies and the world's largest collection of Henri Bles paintings. It generates revenue through ticketed admission, guided tours, temporary exhibitions, educational programs for schools and families, an on-site shop, a free documentation center, and a 3D virtual tour, while preserving a classified 18th-century Régence-style mansion in Namur.
