Ghent's Land

Ghent is a large landowner. The city owns vast swathes of agricultural land, most of it outside the city boundaries. There was a time when Ghent held 5,000 hectares of arable land, meadows and woodland. Even today that figure is 1,800 hectares. The city in the countryside. What is the story behind that land? Where does its future lie?

From dot to dot: The story of Ghent

"The Story of Ghent" is the permanent exhibition at the STAM. A journey through time with wall-sized maps, digital animations, and, of course, unique objects. This selection of fifteen objects already gives you the essence of the story. But let this digital exhibition serve as an invitation to come and discover even more in the museum itself.

Ghent, Occupied City

During the First World War Ghent was an occupied city. In the summer of 2017 STAM showed photographs taken by the occupier (now preserved in the KIK/IRPA collection) and juxtaposing them with material from Ghent City Archive. Some of the photographs say more than we might think at first glance, some give a distorted picture of the reality of everyday life.

Ghent World Exhibition 1913

The Ghent World Exhibition ran from April 26 to November 3, 1913. Little remains of the architecture on the grounds of the Ghent Expo. This interactive 3D model, based on the original plans and photographs, provides an impression of its appearance and scale.
