About us


MUMONS, Sciences, Arts and Curiosities 

On the corner of Place du Parc and Rue du Rossignol is the former chapel of the Visitandines*. This is where the University of Mons has opened its museum, and it’s the place to be if you want to have fun!  

Science, Arts & Curiosities: that’s what you’ll find when you walk through the doors of MUMONS.  What do you mean “too vague a description”?  Let us explain.   

Did you know that one of the main roles of a museum is to showcase its collections?  The University, for example, has hundreds of thousands of precious books, maps and plans, works of art, old scientific instruments and a host of other objects, all linked to its history and its many activities! From the Gutenberg Bible to the Nokia 3310, we keep almost everything!  Then, depending on our events and their different themes, we put them on display.   

And then… what would science and the arts be without our curiosity?  Ask yourself that question!  What would a museum be without a visitor, a book without a reader?  What would the world be like without questioning, experimenting, researching and learning?    

MUMONS is just that!  A constant exchange between you and us: debates, questions, discussions, research and constant curiosity about the world around us.  

Our mission is to give you the keys to understanding the world. 

*Keep an eye out for the different locations for our activities, as MUMONS is always on the move and likes to create improbable experiences in the most unexpected places!

Two teams for one museum!

Behind MUMONS, the University of Mons’ museum, are two complementary teams working in perfect synergy!

The Culture and Heritage team is at the heart of managing the museum and its exhibitions. They have the privilege of preserving, studying, and showcasing the valuable collections of the University. They are also the ones organizing numerous cultural and scientific outreach activities, both within the museum and beyond. Remember the Foucault pendulum? That was them! Conferences, science films, science cafés, and the Spring of Sciences? All their doing!

But behind every exhibition and project, there’s also another essential team: UMONS Extension ASBL. These versatile experts are here to bring MUMONS’ sometimes wild ideas to life. From graphic design to technical support and administrative follow-up, their help is indispensable for everything to run smoothly.
