Featured collections represent the science disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, botany, and mathematics. The collections tell the story of scientific research and modernization in Ghent and showcase the work of great scientific minds like Joseph Plateau, the father of film, and August Kekulé, the founder of aromatic chemistry. Collections of microscopes and surveying instruments as well as a history of electrical machines are also on display.
