Renewed Utrecht University Museum reopens after three years

Wednesday 6 September sees the University Museum Utrecht - UMU open to the public again. 'The new UMU is the museum for everyone who is curious,' says director Femke den Boer. 'In our revamped family museum, visitors get a peek under the bonnet of science and become a researcher themselves.' The new UMU has five new exhibition halls where visitors are actively introduced to scientific research at Utrecht University, past and present. Visitors experience how to do research by getting to work on challenging research activities. For instance, visitors can design a heart-lung machine, study the behaviour of monkeys and humans, experiment with an air pump and are challenged during various research workshops. The museum has collaborated with several scientists from Utrecht University for this purpose. Anyone can become a researcher.
