Expo
Museum visit - GUM
Discover the new science museum in the middle of the Ghent Botanical Garden, around the corner from S.M.A.K. and MSK Ghent.
At the GUM, you pick the brain of scientists. Which challenges do they face? How do they go about things? Is there room left for imagination, doubt and failure? How does that impact every aspect of our lives and way of thinking? And last but not least: which remarkable objects can illuminate this story?
At the new science museum, visitors can discover a highly valuable and exceptional collection covering various disciplines, ranging from Biology to Archaeology, and from Psychology to Medicine. The collection is where the history of science and contemporary research meet, while simultaneously offering a glimpse into the future.
