Guided tour GUM in Flemish Sign Language (VGT)

Experience GUM & Botanical Garden in Vlaamse Gebarentaal! Thanks to a new initiative by the Vlaams Gebarentaalcentrum (VGTC), VSL tours are now possible in GUM & Botanical Garden. We were given the opportunity to train deaf guides so that deaf visitors can experience the museum in an interactive way in their own language. Our deaf guides give tours in VSL, so that deaf sign language users can experience the museum in their own language, completely tailored to them. This makes our museum not only more inclusive and accessible, but also helps to give Vlaamse Gebarentaal more visibility in society. With a guide, you explore the themes of the GUM and objects from various collections. You step into the mind of a researcher and discover that science is a process of trial and error. The tour provides insights into scientific thinking and also sets you thinking … and sometimes doubting.
