Design Museum Gent
Design Museum Gent traces the objects and interiors people live with, from decorative arts to Belgian contemporary design. Its historic buildings and new wing make access status important when planning a visit.
The museum began by showing useful models to Ghent's makers, a purpose that still helps explain its focus on furniture, ceramics and designed interiors. Art Nouveau and later Belgian design sit alongside contemporary materials. The relationship between the restored historic setting and the new wing adds an architectural reason to visit once the museum is open.
