The Ghent University Museum (GUM) and Botanical Garden will take you on a quest for the truth. This exhibition provides an answer to questions such as: What is true and what isn’t? What do we really want to know? Does absolute certainty exist? What is the role of science in this regard? Does a museum always tell the truth?
The GUM confronts big names and young talent from the art world with exceptional research from home and abroad and intriguing science projects in which you can participate live. In the Wunderkammer of TRUTH, you (might) learn all about the truth. The exhibition is definitely worth a visit.

Description
Mirror Mirror, Fashion & the Psyche, a double exhibition in the Ghent Dr. Guislain Museum and MoMu – Fashion Museum Antwerp, explores the connection between fashion, psychology, self-image and identity.
Clothes and style are not only the work of well-known designers. Sometimes they are created in isolation, for example in a psychiatric hospital or in the privacy of one’s living room. They can fulfil desires, spread a message and enter into dialogue with the world of fashion.
The Dr. Guislain Museum brings together creations by artists who use clothes and textile to claim their place in the world. Even though their work belongs on the street’s catwalk, it is rarely put in the spotlight. You’ll see designs by Marcel Bascoulard, Jane Fradgley, Christopher Kane, Yumiko Kawai, Bas Kosters & Ayse Somuncu, Ezekiel Messou, Giovanni Batista Podestà, Kenneth Rasmussen, Melina Riccio, Joseph Schneller, Henry Speller, Pascal Tassini, A.F. Vandevorst, Giuseppe Versino, ROB Walbers, Nana Yamazaki and others.
The MOMU exhibition focuses on the personal experience of the body and starts a dialogue between art installations and avant-garde fashion. The themes in this part of the exhibition are body dysmorphia, the meaning and history of human replicas such as dolls and mannequins, and the symbiosis between art, fashion and technology in the form of cyborgs and avatars.
