At PARCUM you will explore religion and heritage in a place where they have converged for centuries. The museum is housed in the historic Park Abbey, the best-preserved abbey site in the Low Countries, just outside Leuven. In this beautiful setting, PARCUM takes an idiosyncratic approach to religious heritage. Never shown heritage from churches, abbeys and monasteries enter into dialogue with current issues, contemporary artists and multi-religious culture.
