Centre d'archives de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles de Belgique et espace d'expositions temporaires, le Mundaneum est aussi appelé "The web time forgot"(NY Times) ou le "Google de papier"(Le Monde). Créé à Bruxelles en 1895, son Répertoire Bibliographique Universel est enregistré à l'Unesco (Mémoire du Monde). The Mundaneum is an archive centre of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation of Belgium and a temporary exhibition space called "The web time forgot"(NY Times) or "the paper Google"(Le Monde). Part of its archive, the Universal Bibliographic Repertory (Brussels, 1895), is part of the Unesco's Memory of the World Register."Historians typically trace the origins of the World Wide Web through a lineage of Anglo-American inventors like Vannevar Bush, Doug Engelbart and Ted Nelson. But more than half a century before Tim Berners-Lee released the first Web browser in 1991, Otlet described a networked world where “anyone in his armchair would be able to contemplate the whole of creation.” Alex Wright, New-York Times, June 2008
