Wunderkammer of Truth

GUM - Wunderkammer of Truth

The expo ‘Wunderkammer of Truth’ opens a dialogue on the theme of 'truth'. What is science's role in this? Do museums actually always tell the truth? Does absolute certainty exist? And if so, can we even find it? What is science's role in this? Immerse yourself in the Wunderkammer of TRUTH and find out all about the truth... Or not?

The Boekentoren lends a medal and a map to this exhibition, as well as some books that question ‘the truth’. Including one in which the explanatory power of drawing a tree for making a psychiatric diagnosis is undermined.
