The Imitatio Christi has been a global bestseller for 600 years. After the Bible, it is the most distributed and widely read book in the world. This spiritual self-help book teaches you, through biblical quotes and the wisdom of philosophers, Church Fathers, and mystics, how to find deep inner peace and attempts to answer the universal question: how to live? It is a story of devotion and mindfulness, of light from the not-so-dark Middle Ages. KBR treasures more than 1000 manuscripts and prints of the Imitatio Christi, including the autograph that Thomas a Kempis kept until his death—a collection that reflects nearly the entire history of the printing press. From 20 November to 20 December 2024, you can admire them in a pop-up exhibition at the Librarium on level -2.

They’re wild! Who is « wild »? What does “wild nature” mean to you? This exhibition will awaken your curiosity and stimulate your critical thinking. A confrontation with different representations of the wild : exotic? remote? dangerous? untouched? Explore the boundary – is there one at all? – that separates wild animals from humans. Observe, marvel, and wonder… Natural sciences flirt with philosophy, anthropology and poetry. Films, interactive elements, and scientific collection pieces offer a brand new perspective on domestication, safaris, animal parks (including the former Brussels zoo!), and animal behavior. Discover the domestication story of the wolf and eight other animals. Be amazed by Belgian wildlife: wild boar, beaver, fox, black grouse and Lynx. Take a moment to look at intriguing images from wildlife observation cameras.
They’re wild? We’re all wild! What is our role as human beings? Is humanity threatening or threatened itself? A major challenge awaits us. Are you ready to contribute?
The exhibition “WILD?”, an emotional journey to meet wild animals and yourself. Between fear and fascination.
