Kina
Kina

Find out how a mammoth’s thighbone compares to your own. Marvel at the clever cobwebs and the busy bees... At Kina you’ll discover far more than you had bargained for!
GUM & Botanical Garden
GUM & Botanical Garden
The Ghent University Museum is located at the heart of the Ghent Botanical Garden, right around the corner from MSK Ghent and S.M.A.K. The GUM is a museum dedicated to science, research and critical thinking, where visitors can discover that scholarship is the result of trial and error, doubt and imagination.
The House of Alijn
The House of Alijn
Welcome to the museum of daily life! You can discover more about the rituals, traditions and habits of our everyday life from the 20th century to today in the House of Alijn.
Museum of Industry
Museum of Industry
In the centre of Ghent, close to Vrijdagmarkt, you can find the Museum of Industry in an impressive old cotton mill. Three permanent exhibitions bring the industrial past back to life.
MSK - Museum of Fine Arts Ghent
MSK - Museum of Fine Arts Ghent
The Museum of Fine Arts Ghent (MSK) is the oldest museum in Belgium. In the extensive permanent presentation you'll discover over 600 masterpieces of European painting and sculpture, from the Middle Ages up to the present, with an important selection of (Belgian) art from the 19th and the first half of the 20th century.
Dr. Guislain Museum
Dr. Guislain Museum
The Dr. Guislain Museum is, as a museum on psychiatry, a place where past and present meet. The human psyche has always been a source of fascination. But the knowledge we have now still goes hand in hand with mystery. A lot of questions remain unanswered, theories fade, but sometimes also reappear. The Dr. Guislain Museum is a
lieu de mémoire
and a laboratory, a museum ‘in psychiatry’ where experiment is key, where issues on metal wellbeing and illness are questioned and the complexity of the human psyche is revealed through testimonies, documents and records, art and photography.
St Peter's Abbey
St Peter's Abbey
St Peter’s Abbey is one of Ghent’s foremost monuments. Concealed behind its imposing walls is a surprisingly large garden with a vineyard, herb garden, fruit trees and ruins. The buildings you see today date from the 17th and 18th centuries, the impressive refectory from the Middle Ages. St Peter’s Abbey presents historio-cultural, literary and photographic exhibitions at national and international level.
S.M.A.K.
S.M.A.K.
S.M.A.K. shows art from its own collection in dialogue with works of contemporary artists from all corners of the world. By means of contemporary art, we seek and give meaning to this complex and fragmented world. In doing so, we make every effort to be accessible and inclusive, because art is for everyone. Because we experiment, every visit becomes exciting. Meet artists with a surprising and visionary view of the world and sharpen your perspective. Slowly recover from the many impressions at
Wilde Weide
or by taking a walk in the park.
STAM - Ghent City Museum
STAM - Ghent City Museum
STAM is the Ghent city museum. It presents the story of the city of Ghent. A permanent circuit leads visitors along a chronological trail of objects and multimedia which trace the development and growth of Ghent. Temporary exhibitions explore the concept of 'urbanity' from different angles. STAM's real showpiece, its raison d'être, is the city itself. A visit to the city museum is not complete without a visit to Ghent.
Historical Houses Ghent
Historical Houses Ghent
Welcome to Historische Huizen Gent, the Historical Houses of Ghent. Come and admire our houses and their stories, events, and exhibitions. They are stubborn, they amaze, they surprise, and they stimulate. They move us deeply or touch us with humour. Come and discover their magic.
Design Museum Gent
Design Museum Gent
Design Museum Gent is closed. The museum is getting a new wing and a complete renovation. By 2026, all the buildings will be seamlessly connected and there will be extra space for temporary presentations, workshops, lectures and events, space for art handling and logistics, proper sanitary facilities and an elevator. A project with great and sustainable ambitions, a real bridge between the city, visitors and the design world. In addition to the extra multifunctional space, there will be a museum café, a terrace, a new reception area and a shop.
