Kina, Natural science museum at Sint-Pietersplein, Ghent, Belgium.
The museum exhibits collections of minerals, fossils, insects, shells, and birds throughout multiple rooms in a wing of St. Peter's Abbey.
The institution began as a school museum in 1924 and transformed into Kina after 100 years of educating generations about natural sciences.
The exhibitions combine natural history with educational content, featuring sections about human biology and geological formations for young visitors.
The museum opens Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Sundays from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM, with free entry for children.
The Dinorama section contains a prehistoric reptile fossil alongside an exhibition of thousands of rocks and minerals for hands-on learning experiences.
