Well it must be the first time I see Mons featured here (I'm living in the area and moving there soon). The media coverage is probably due to Mons being the european capital of culture this year.

I went to the mundaneum 10~15 years ago (highschool visit), but unfortunatly I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, might be time to visit again.

At that time Google wasn't the massive thing it is. Wikipedia was just born. Time to see things in a new light.

The pictures in this article are touching. It's naive and yet it's what the world is today. A new spin on the SF drive discoveries.

Is it worth traveling to Mons for?

It seems it's mostly a wall of little drawers that one is probably not allowed to rifle through. And some posters explaining things. Now we have the web it's easy to learn more about this stuff from home, perhaps?

Yes I doubt it's worth it only for the Mudaneum, but you can probably plan a interesting day if you combine with a few other activities: http://www.mons2015.eu/
