Located at the upper end of the city of Louvain-la-Neuve, the building that houses the museum was created by the architect André Jacqmain. Designed and built between 1969 and 1975, it is one of the first buildings to have been erected after the University’s move to Walloon territory. Symbolically and through its monumental character, it was intended to embody the University and proclaim its intellectual role. The furnishings designed by Jules Wabbes and intended for what was originally a library, will be partially reused in the museum.
