Hidrodoe is a water science museum in Herentals featuring over 80 interactive stations where visitors explore water properties through hands-on experiments. The exhibition covers how water behaves, how it reaches communities, and the science behind water systems.
The museum was founded by Pidpa, the water supply company of Antwerp province, and opened in 2003 on World Water Day. Its creation came from a desire to educate the public about water science and the importance of water resources.
