Heavy Metal: Expo on the move

At STAMplein square, a separate part of the museum with changing programmes, you can visit the exhibition “Heavy Metal”.

Finds from cities with a medieval past give us an insight into the daily lives, the work and the lifestyle of people living centuries ago. This exhibition highlights a rich, but underappreciated archaeological subject from our medieval cities: metal finds. The ‘Medieval Metal’ research project funded by the Flemish agency for immovable heritage (2020-2022) mapped the great diversity of metal objects from urban excavations. You can discover the results on STAMplein square.

Are you driving to Ghent? First check whether you may enter the city centre with your vehicle. Clean vehicles may enter the city centre free of charge, polluting vehicles have to pay. Is your vehicle allowed to enter, but do you not have a Belgian or Dutch number plate? You will ALWAYS have to register!
