Musée L, University museum in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.
Musée L is a university museum in Louvain-la-Neuve housed in a former science library building that spans multiple levels displaying around 800 selected works from a collection of roughly 32,000 objects. The building includes exhibition spaces alongside reading areas and relaxation zones available to visitors.
The museum began in 1979 at Erasmus College and moved to its current location in 2017 following a renovation. The relocation represented a key moment in making the university's collections more accessible to the public.
The collections showcase scientific instruments, archaeological finds, and ethnographic objects that reflect the University of Louvain's academic history. Visitors can see how these items illustrate the various research fields the university has pursued over the years.
The building is easy to navigate with different sections to explore and guided tours available in multiple languages. Visitors should allow enough time to see the various levels and exhibition areas while also enjoying the relaxation zones.
The museum features interactive lab spaces where visitors can work with collection items and participate in activities exploring scientific topics hands-on. This hands-on approach differs from typical exhibitions and transforms learning during a visit into a practical experience.
