Wonderful museum at UCLouvain
Quiet, a museum ? Not in Louvain-la-Neuve, where the Musée L makes artworks talk to each other : a Buddha next to a medieval Christ, ancient writings alongside calculating machines... The university museum of UCLouvain, with 20.000 items in its collection, explores some new and unusual encounters that tell us about the world and our humanity. Art works are not the only thing on display: the museum also presents the UCLouvain’s scientific collections. Natural history specimens, archaeological and ethnographic objects and scientific inventions are all on show in 2,600 m² of exhibition space at the heart of a building that is a landmark of modern Belgian architecture. Musée L is not like other museums: it is a place of living dialogue and exciting discovery.

So worth the visit
This museum was a real discovery for us. The architecture and the decoration of the place is different from all other museums we have visited. We mainly appreciated the sixth floor since the approach of mixing up different styles and cultures was refreshing and interesting to see, but the museum has other nice (Belgian) works, definitely worth the visit.

More than I expected
I was expecting a much smaller museum but there’s a lot here. It covers geology, natural history, art from various times, archeology, science, anthropology, and has some temporary exhibitions: there was a good one about fossils when I was there. It was quite popular on a wet Sunday afternoon and there were families with children there too. All the notices are in French, Flemish and English, which is helpful for visitors. Very friendly staff, and even a cafe (temporarily shut when I visited)
