At STAMplein square, a separate part of the museum with changing programmes, you
can visit the heritage project “The square kilometre”. Here you can learn all
about the Dampoort neighbourhood.
Historian in residence Tina de Gendt and researcher Thirza Vandenabeele delve
deep into the history of the area around the Gent-Dampoort railway station.
Contrary to Ledeberg, Rabot and Brugse Poort, which were the central topic of
the project “The square kilometre”, the Dampoort area is not what you could call
a “neighbourhood”. It is composed of parts of the districts Ham, Macharius,
Dendermondsesteenweg and Antwerpsesteenweg.
Prefer not to wait in line at the ticket booth? Want to be sure you can discover
the STAM when you want to? Then book your tickets online in advance and enjoy
your visit to the fullest.
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!
