A museum about minds

Wander story · Museum Dr. Guislain · 26s

Museum Dr. Guislain explores the history of psychiatry through objects, art and patient stories, and it doesn't flinch. It's named for Joseph Guislain, a 19th-century Ghent doctor who argued for humane treatment when that was a radical position. The museum sits on the grounds of a psychiatric centre, so the subject is living, not just historical. Thoughtful, sometimes uncomfortable, and always human.
