👍👍 Small visit on the first Sunday of the month, because the museums are free on the first Sunday of the month. A great family discovery. A 2 hour visit. Besides, we will certainly return there. People often mention museum, nice, visit, interesting, collection, building, pour, collections, good, bien,

    Nice place for a quiet laid back lunch or a coffee. They dont have a lot of choice foodwise but what they have is always good. There's a nice collection of books, souveniers and art too to browse through!

    (Translated by Google) Sublime site ... a museum like no other because you go around the world in 6 floors and from prehistory to the present day. A smiling museum in the presentation of works and remains made for all ages. Children will find their pleasure there (drawing tables, books at their disposal) Unique pieces and so well presented ... places designed to indulge in meditation, dream ... works that challenge because they face each other and are so different ... clash of cultures, eras .. everything is very well explained. The welcome is also remarkable kindness, everything is together to spend an excellent visit and especially come back. Beautiful acoustics too ... (Original) Sublime site ... un musée pas comme les autres parce qu'on y fait un tour du monde en 6 étages et de la préhistoire à nos jours. Un musée souriant dans la présentation des œuvres et des vestiges fait pour tous les âges. Les enfants y trouveront leur plaisir (tables pour dessiner , livres à leur disposition) Des pièces uniques et si bien présentées... des endroits aménagés pour se laisser aller à méditer, rêver... des œuvres qui interpellent parce qu'elles se font face et sont si différentes... choc des cultures, des époques... tout est très bien expliqué. L'accueil est aussi remarquable de gentillesse, tout est réuni pour passer une excellente visite et surtout y revenir. Belle acoustique aussi...

    (Translated by Google) A discovery! I visited it on Heritage Day. The entrance was free ... and there was almost no one yet! A nice museum heteroclite. There is a bit of everything, but of a high quality. We travel between eras and masterpieces, between ancient relics and paintings by Delvaux, Magritte, Picasso. A section is dedicated to science, with an exhibition of old microscopes, magnifying glasses and measuring devices. A must see! (Original) Une découverte! Je l'ai visité lors de la journée du patrimoine. L'entrée était gratuite... et il n'y avait quasi personne pourtant! Un chouette musée hétéroclite. Il y a un peu de tout, mais d'une grande qualité. On voyage entre les époques et les pièces magistrales, entre des vestiges antiques et des tableaux de Delvaux, Magritte, Picasso. Une section est dédiée à la science, avec une exposition de vieux microscopes, loupes et appareils de mesure. A voir absolument!

    Very interesting and well organised museum. It consists of several series of collections belonging to the Catholic University of Leuven. The building itself is impressive and there is plenty of space to display the multitude of objects.

  • 5/5 Pierre M. 1 month ago on Google • 191 reviews New
    Rich and varied content, often linked to the University's departments. The audio guide is useful and enriching.

  • 5/5 Aner G. 2 months ago on Google • 110 reviews New
    Magnificent collections of paintings, sculptures, engravings and others, combining many eras and artistic movements. I highly recommend. Free for UCLouvain students, and modest price for all others.

    Beautiful and interesting building. A lot more spacious than it looks. Great art collection, especially the statues

  • 4/5 Emmanuel G. 1 year ago on Google • 69 reviews
    A really wonderful building holding a very diverse collection of art and artefacts. The layout can be confusing, it feels like a teaching collection designed to be visited with a guide. Nice to wander around in.

  • 4/5 Jean-François P. 2 months ago on Google • 53 reviews New
    Very nice experience. The exhibition "The Grid" is remarkable, original and above all very well commented by 2 very charming people. Very helpful people at reception. Great shop and relaxation area.

  • 4/5 Aurore G. 3 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    Very nice museum visited during an outing with a friend. The objects and works represent several periods of history. The rooms are well lit and well arranged. Easy access to disabled people.

    The museum has different sections .....science (fossils), arts. It has some Indian items too....

  • 1/5 Denis (Denis H. 4 years ago on Google • 12 reviews
    The museum in itself is great. There is a lot to discover. Just avoid its home agents.To me, you feel they are bored with their job. They can not even speek in your own language. While I was paying my entrance they scolded each other (not professionnal at all). They did not give a good impression. Go for the museum, not for the people there.

    Pleasant and very interesting guided tour of the museum and the casting section.

  • 5/5 Jan L. 1 year ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Blown away by the architecture — that alone is worth the price of the ticket. Bonus points for being kid-friendly. My kid was loaned a really fun bag full of activities and objects that she can use to view/engage with the exhibits, and there are a couple of stations on two of the floors for children as well.

  • 5/5 Daf Kas (. 4 years ago on Google
    The museum is arranged by topics with activities for children. The architecture of the building, a former university library is stunning

    (Translated by Google) Very beautiful building, especially the interior fittings.

👍 A lovely artificial lake that puts an amazing scenery in the middle of Louvain-la-Neuve. If you're lucky you might see the ducks and the mallards, though approach with caution. There's also a marked track for runners. One improvement could be the addition of more benches, also you definitely cannot...
