Ghent University Museum or GUM: Gents Universiteitsmuseum (established 2020) is a science museum in Ghent, Belgium, affiliated to Ghent University. It subsumes several of the university's heritage collections,[1] including that of the Museum of the History of Sciences which closed in 2018.

The opening, originally planned for March 2020,[2] was delayed until October 2020 by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium.[3]
