10 good reasons not to miss the opening of the GUM

Ghent already has ten or so museums and, as from Saturday 21 March, another gem will be added with the opening of the Ghent University Museum, known as GUM. On Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 March, the time has come! Then Ghent has a new museum. The GUM (Ghent University Museum ) opens its doors in the middle of the Botanical Garden, around the corner from MSKGent and S.M.A.K. After years of planning and preparation the finish line is in sight. Don't expect a traditional science museum but instead a forum for science, doubt and art. Michaël Mariën, communication coordinator for the GUM, gives us 10 good reasons not to miss the opening weekend on 21 and 22 March. Memorable opening - Ghent's museums have earned rather a reputation for memorable openings.
