Day Out: Gent Museums II

STAM is Gent's City Museum, housed in a restored 14th century abbey.  

We were more fascinated by the way the exhibits were presented at this museum, rather than the exhibits themselves (until today, we are still not sure what they were about, lol).

The first room that we stepped into was breathtaking!  
The entire floor and part of the walls were covered with high definition satellite photos of Gent, 
lighted from within.

We had to wear special shoe covers to protect the floor.

If you were living in Gent, you could literally step foot on your own home.


The beautiful 14th century Gothic refectory.


Here's a sample of the state-of-the-art way in which the exhibits were presented:

Even the signages were cool.

Lounge-like atmosphere at the museum.


Gothic buildings made of architectural lego. 


Visitors can try their hand at creating a building or a mess, depending on your age.
