About the venue
The renewed University Museum Utrecht (UMU) is the museum for everyone who is curious. In this family museum, you get a glimpse under the hood of science and become a researcher yourself. There is plenty to do and see in UMU. There are five exhibition halls and there are regular workshops and research activities.
Adjacent to the museum, you will find the Old Hortus. The Old Hortus is a beautiful, hidden green oasis in the middle of Utrecht. It is a lovely place to wander around and enjoy the special plants and trees. This unique, historical garden is divided into several parts, including a cottage garden and a medicinal garden: the Regius Garden. Additionally, the garden houses many species of plants and trees. For example, one of the oldest Ginkgo biloba trees in the Netherlands can be found here. This specimen is over 250 years old.
The University Museum Utrecht (UMU) and the Old Hortus offer a calm, inspiring environment for meetings and workshops. Room rental includes access to the museum and the Old Hortus.
