To tie in with its tenth birthday, at the end of 2020 STAM is planning to update its permanent exhibition ‘The Story of Ghent’. It can never be said that STAM is afraid to ring the changes. Indeed, STAM realizes the importance of moving with the times and ensuring that every visit is a memorable experience!
From October 10th 2020!
There was a time when Ghent owned 5,000 hectares of agricultural land. Today that figure is 1,800 hectares, mostly outside the city boundaries. The city in the countryside. What is the story behind that land? Where does its future lie?
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.
