Table of contents
General introduction
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.
