Our everyday lives are full of rituals, traditions and habits. Both special occasions such as a wedding, birth or retirement and small moments on holiday or at home determine the rhythm of our life. Discover numerous objects, photos, sounds and moving images from the 20th and 21st century in the House of Alijn. Flip through photo albums, smell the laundry detergent of the past, dance in the wedding room, draw your own lucky charm or read a New Year’s letter. Relive memories together and talk about the past and the present.
Visit a temporary exhibition or installation, go on a guided tour or explore Ghent through the Sound Game.
Do you want have a drink before or after your visit? Or do you want to take a break during your walk through Ghent? Take a seat in our museum café or choose your spot in the lovely courtyard.
Can you hear it too? The city is full of sounds! Hit the road in Ghent with Hendrik and Poes. During an active walk, you will guess, make, look for and draw sounds from daily life.
