Ghent: the City and its Museums
(vero;2023-Oct-07)
Although the skies were a bit grey, we had a good time strolling through Ghent. As expected, we did not miss the MSK (Museum of Fine Arts, see our photo gallery dedicated to it) but we have also great memories of the City Museum (STAM) and the Industry Museum which gave us a good insight into Ghent's past and the way it shaped the city it has become today. For something completely different, we visited also the Alijn Huis, a museum of daily life in the 20th and 21st centuries. It was showing an exhibition about the 1990s just as we were there, a period during which we were young adults and which we remember fondly: it was quite fun to go back in time.
Below are two further galleries with:
- Views of the city
- Some exhibits of the city's museums (other than the MSK Museum)
We also have a blog entry with some tips and practicalities if you ever plan to visit Ghent.
