    The Mundaneum was an institution which aimed to gather together all the world’s knowledge and classify it according to a system called the Universal Decimal Classification. […]

    […] which eventually became an archive with more than 12 million index cards and documents.

    Wow! …

    When Nazi Germany invaded Belgium in 1940, the Mundaneum was replaced with an exhibit of Third Reich art, and some material was lost.

    … sigh.
