Culture in Tychy

 

The Small theatre is the most important cultural place in Tychy. It has a very long history.

During the early years of its existence, the Small Theatre served as a cultural center of the Coal Mine 'Ziemowit'. Later it was transformed into a cultural center operating at the FSM car factory. Only in 1994, the Small Theatre became a municipal facility, and in 2000 it gained the status of a local cultural institution.
