Discover BORDERS with a guide!
Immerse yourself in this exhibition about clashing, balancing and moving between yourself, others and the world. Borders mark where one thing ends and another begins. But what are borders really, if we all experience them differently? Are they set in stone or are they changeable? Have they arisen naturally or are they man-made?
The BORDERS exhibition showcases the results of scientific and artistic research about borders by artists including Bieke Depoorter, playField, Robbert & Frank Frank & Robbert, Francis Alÿs, Roger Raveel, Lieve Blancquaert, Luanda Casella and Madonna Lenaert.

Delve into the mind of the inquisitive and research-minded individual!
At GUM & Plantentuin, you can delve into the mind of the inquisitive and investigative human. What challenges do scientists face? How do they go about their work, and what obstacles do they encounter? In the museum, you’ll discover that science is the result of trial and error, doubt and imagination.
And which remarkable objects illustrate this story? More info.
