Museum Shop
In the Museum Shop, you’ll find a surprising range of ‘Art & Science’ souvenirs. Perfectly in line with our ‘Forum for Science, Doubt & Art’.
The range is extensive: from posters and postcards, to books for all ages, fun board games and jigsaw puzzles, small gadgets such as magnets and stickers, GUM socks, and stationery including coffee mugs, notebooks, writing materials and pencil cases. You’ll also find a selection of products from the Ghent University shop, such as jumpers and tote bags.
Furthermore, you can buy genuine works of art, such as ceramics by Lana Schneider or a reproduction by Berlinde de Bruyckere or Piet Van. There’s something for everyone!
The shop is always open during the museum’s opening hours, you can just walk in without even needing a museumticket.
New in the shop: MUSAE
MUSAE is a series of handmade ceramic artist editions by artist Lana Schneider (PlayField collective), resident artist at GUM & Plantentuin. The works combine ceramics with botanical motifs and scientific notations, making time, observation and memory tangible. Each piece invites you not only to look at it, but also to use it, thereby becoming part of a personal story.
