Exhibition “Trementinaires” at UPC

From September 16 to November 15, 2024, the Uriach Foundation is presenting the exhibition “Trementinaires: Between Mountains and Remedies” at the library of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC).

The exhibition explores the history of a group of brave and enterprising women who, between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries, dedicated themselves to bringing natural remedies across Catalonia while preserving local knowledge and traditions.
