Explore our temporary exhibition 'The Parade' with an expert guide, then go behind the scenes of the museum together with a STAM collections researcher.
Enjoy an exclusive look at how a museum works and discover areas that are usually off limits to visitors. What does a museum storage facility look like? How do researchers work with collections? And how are objects studied, documented and preserved for future generations?
A unique opportunity to discover the museum from a completely different perspective.
Would you prefer to visit 'The Parade' with your group without a guide? That's possible too. Please make sure to register your self-guided group visit in advance.

Most exhibitions start with a theme, a storyline, and a carefully selected group of objects. But not for ‘The Parade’. For this exhibition, we’re deliberately steering clear of the traditional approach. Forget the theme and the narrative; ‘The Parade’ takes its cue purely from our collection - holding around 30,000 remarkably diverse objects - and the sheer joy of looking and discovering. Destination unknown; the journey itself - as is so often the case - is what matters most.
Explore 'The Parade' with your group and an expert guide. Discover a carefully selected range of collection objects through fresh perspectives, hidden stories and unexpected insights that bring the STAM collection to life.
STAM turned ten last year... time for a make-over for the permanent exhibition! Since the end of 2020 you can stroll through the new Story of Ghent.
Feel free to touch! A fun children’s trail that leads through every room in the museum. Children become merchants, craftspeople, architects or city trippers and participate in city life. They sell cloth, make coats of arms, face façades and work out routes.
