About the walk

Did you know that Leuven is the birthplace of the Big Bang Theory? In 1931, Professor Georges Lemaître introduced his revolutionary theory at the University of Leuven. A permanent urban artwork was commissioned in tribute. Primeval Atom transforms the heart of the city into the universe.

You can find a list of the locations of the medaillons here on the website. Discover the 80 medaillons on this map and head out to explore the centre of Leuven
