Explore this question from a unique perspective at More-than-Planet. Consider the factors that shape our (space-based) views on environmental pressure and conflict by immersing yourself within the artworks of five cutting-edge international artists.

The tour starts and ends at the dome at the beginning of the grounds in front of the Old Observatory, on the Sterrenwachtlaan.
Are you coming from the Hortus botanicus? Then you can walk to the end of the garden and enter the grounds in front of the Old Observatory through the turnstile. At the end of the tour, we will make sure you can go back into the Hortus if you wish. It can be a deceivingly long walk to the end of the garden, so make sure you leave early enough.
Our tours are given by astronomy students, all of which can do the tour in English. However, dending on the preferences of your group, the majority might prefer to do the tour in Dutch. We do always try to be flexible and think of a linguistic solution on the spot. Some of our students are international and can only give the tour in English. On the following days in November, the tours will be in English for sure:
- Thursday 3 November
- Sunday 6 November
- Friday 25 November
- Wednesday 30 November
