About the museum

Discover Museum van de Geest

A Journey Through the Mind

The Museum van de Geest (Museum of the Mind), reopened in 2020, invites you on an immersive exploration of the human mind. This isn't a simple task, as the mind remains a mystery. The museum tackles profound questions: What is the mind? Where does it reside? How can we care for it?

Through personal stories, scientific insights, art, and philosophical inquiry, you'll delve into your own mind and the minds of others. A digital guide leads you through the museum, posing thought-provoking questions and challenging your perceptions. You'll encounter the perspectives of scientists, philosophers, contemporary thinkers, rappers, and artists, all grappling with the complexities of the mind.

The museum also houses a growing art collection that challenges conventional views of reality. You'll find both established and outsider art that questions norms and offers unique perspectives.Visit the Museum van de Geest and embark on a journey to understand the mind, challenge your assumptions, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and others.
