Description

Mundaneum, der havde til formål at samle al verdens viden og klassificere den i henhold til et system, var et initiativ af Paul Otlet og Henri la Fontaine i 1910.

Denne "vidensby", som Otlet oprindeligt kaldte "Palais Mondial" ("Verdenspaladset"), ville fungere som et centralt arkiv for verdens information. I 1919, kort efter afslutningen af Første Verdenskrig, overbeviste de den belgiske regering om at give dem plads og midler til dette projekt, idet de argumenterede for, at det ville hjælpe Belgien med at styrke sin ansøgning om at huse Folkeforbundets hovedkvarter. De fik plads i venstre fløj af Palais du Cinquantenaire.

Mundaneum voksede støt til 13 millioner indekskort i 1927; i sit sidste år, 1934, havde det nået over 15 millioner.

I 1939, da Tyskland invaderede Belgien, tvang tyskerne Otlet og hans kolleger til at finde et nyt hjem til Mundaneum. Det flyttede til en bygning i Leopold Park.
