Museum van de Geest | Dolhuys

Controlling your mind

The museum does not send you off on your own. Through the digital tour guide, you will even hear the walls speak. They will guide you, ask you critical questions and challenge you. Just how empathetic are you? And what kind of personality to do you have? Meet scientists and philosophers that have been trying to find out how to control the mind for ages. Contemporary thinkers, rappers and artists tell their stories as well. Visitors gain insights about how they judge the world, for we all have an instinctive tendency to want to pigeonhole the human mind.

Art

In addition to its heritage collection, the Museum of the Mind is also building an art collection that presents a different view of reality – regular artworks that challenge what is standard, as well as spontaneous and unconventional works of art, often by self-taught artists who operate outside traditional professional art circuits: Outsider Art.
