Mundaneum

Mons

Wander through three floors of wooden cabinets holding Paul Otlet's wild attempt to catalog all human knowledge: millions of index cards, the "paper Google" of 1910. An interactive device at the entrance shows how his postal query system worked, and the whole place feels like stepping into a librarian's beautiful fever dream.
