House of Alijn
In a former almshouse on Kraanlei, the House of Alijn turns ordinary objects, memories and rituals into a social history of daily life. The museum visit and courtyard make it a substantial Patershol stop.
The House of Alijn makes daily life the subject of a museum: family photographs, domestic objects, sounds and celebrations reveal how ordinary habits changed across generations. Its former almshouse setting adds another layer to the story, while the courtyard gives the visit a quiet pause. The result is a personal counterpoint to Ghent’s monumental civic buildings.
