  We present first results of near-infrared integral field spectroscopy of the
central 8''$\times$8'' of the Wolf-Rayet nucleus of the barred spiral galaxy
NGC 6764. In addition to stellar CO and Na I absorption lines as well as
recombination lines of H and He I the K-band spectrum shows strong emission
from molecular hydrogen. Analysis of the stellar nuclear light using population
synthesis in conjunction with NIR spectral synthesis suggests either the
presence of two starbursts with ages of $\sim$ 5 Myrs and $\sim$ 20 Myrs or
continuous star formation with an star formation rate of $\sim$ 0.4 \solm
yr^{-1} over the past 1 Gyr.
