Computer Museum NAM-IP

The first Belgian computer museum opens in Namur. It tells an unbelievable odyssey that leads from the early calculating machines to your smartphone. These days, everything is transformed and transmitted numerically. All the informations are processed by computer software using the binary format: zeroes and ones, and by electronic machines: from computers to connected objects. These machines count because they indeed compute! But they also count because they are precious to explain the history of computing! The Computer Museum NAM-IP opens its doors with a permanent exhibition titled: “at the numerical roots: machines that count”. From Octobre 2018 to June 2019, the exhibiton "Old-inateurs des Sixties" presents mainframes from sixties. These huge old computers have disappeared from the modern IT landscape.

Museum L - University Museum of Louvain

Quiet, a museum ? Not in Louvain-la-Neuve, where the Museum L makes artworks talk to each other : a Buddha next to a medieval Christ, ancient writings alongside calculating machines... The UCLouvain museum, 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. Museum L is not like other museums: it is a place of living dialogue and exciting discovery.
