A passionate plea for a better dialogue between science and art, but also for a revaluation of doubt.
If one wants to paint a realistic picture of the scientific practice,
one cannot only parade success stories and easily digestible results.
But how to present the beauty and complexity as well as the
vulnerability of science without jeopardising its credibility? In The Museum of Doubt
Marjan Doom looks for an answer to that question. The opening of the
Ghent University Museum (GUM) provided her, as curator, with the
opportunity to reflect on the role of science museums in the 21st
century. She delivers a passionate plea for a better dialogue between
science and art, but also for a revaluation of doubt. Like science
itself, a museum is an ideal sanctuary to let go of false certainties
and give doubt its rightful place again.
