The brain is the most complex organ in your body. Would you like to discover how your brain helps you think and act? Then the Donders Brain Museum of the Donders Institute, located in the Latin School in Nijmegen, is the place to visit. The museum is free to visit on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 11:00 to 16:00.
Plenty to do
There’s plenty to do for all ages, including:
- How fast is your brain? It’s not just about looking, but also doing! Discover how your brain processes information, test your memory, learn about illusions and synaesthesia, and unravel the secrets of your own consciousness.
- The brain in focus. Explore the different ways the brain can be visualised, from cells, patterns, and waves to ordinary photographs.
- Whose brain is it? Can you tell human brains apart from animal brains? Test your knowledge by matching various brains to the right animals and discover the surprising diversity of the animal kingdom.
- For children. There’s plenty for the youngest researchers too, such as cuddly neurons, brain puzzles, and experiencing what language sounds like to a baby in the womb!
- Take part in scientific research. At the museum, you can contribute to science by participating in experiments. This way, both you and the researchers learn more about the brain and behaviour.
