Things to do in The Ardennes, Wallonia: The Best Science Museums

August 25, 2021 Jasper Kershner

A smorgasbord of flavors come from this lofty land in the hilly southeast of Belgium: game, wild boar, venison, smoked ham, the region's famous paté and world-renowned Trappist beers. Primarily located in Belgium, the Ardennes mountains also nudge into France and Luxembourg. Dense forests flank the steep hillsides, and market towns and villages perch on river banks. Spring and summer show this lush area at its best, but cross country skiing opportunities make a good case for winter visits.

Computer Museum NAM-IP

The first Belgian computer museum opens in Namur. It tells an unbelievable odyssey that leads from the early calculating machines to your smartphone. These days, everything is transformed and transmitted numerically. All the informations are processed by computer software using the binary format: zeroes and ones, and by electronic machines: from computers to connected objects. These machines count because they indeed compute! But they also count because they are precious to explain the history of computing! The Computer Museum NAM-IP opens its doors with a permanent exhibition titled: “at the numerical roots: machines that count”. From Octobre 2018 to June 2019, the exhibiton "Old-inateurs des Sixties" presents mainframes from sixties. These huge old computers have disappeared from the modern IT landscape.
