Day Out: Gent Museums I

We made a side trip to Gent and Brugge with Lucas' grandparents in early May.  We spent a day at 2 museums in Gent: MSK and STAM.

The MSK (Museum voor Schone Kunsten) is the museum of fine arts at Citadelpark in Gent.  Below is a sampling of the gorgeous paintings at the museum.

Adolf von Meckel's Saint Catharines Monastery on Mount Sinai (Egypt) (19th century)  

(couldn't identify this one)

Leon Frederic's Allegory of Night (19th century)

Alfred Stevens' Mary-Magdalene (model: actress Sarah Bernhardt, 1887) 

Edward Atkinson Hornell's Springtime Idyll (20th century)

January Vernhas' The Master Painter (1877)

Mum and dad at Mub'art, the museum's brasserie.

 Lucas had a field day running around and playing in the huge spaces.

Wheeeeee!

In the background: Theodoor Rombouts' Allegory of the Court of Justice of Gedele in Ghent (17th century)
In the foreground: 16-month old with chicken on wheels (modern day)

Talking shop with the guide.

Working with daddy.

Wheeeee, again!

Whenever we are on holiday, Lucas has the most fun in the hotel, not outside.
