The Ghent City Museum (STAM) is your gateway to the city. The fourteenth-century abbey, the seventeenth-century monastery and adjoining infirmary, the twentieth-century gatehouse and the new twenty-first-century extension introduce you to the history of Ghent. A permanent exhibition leads visitors along a chronological trail of objects and multimedia and explains the development and growth of Ghent.
