STAM — Ghent City Museum

Why go

The museum's giant walkable aerial photograph helps you locate the historic centre and its wider neighbourhoods at a glance. Its route through a medieval abbey, a seventeenth-century convent and a modern addition turns the buildings themselves into part of Ghent's story. Historical objects and maps then make the city's changing shape easier to recognise outside.

What to look for

• A giant aerial photograph lets you see Ghent's layout at a scale you can walk around.
• The museum moves through a medieval abbey, a later convent and a contemporary building.
• Historical objects and city views show how Ghent changed over time.

Useful to know

• Visit before a longer city walk if you want the aerial image and maps to orient you.
• Allow time for both the city displays and the contrasting historic buildings.
