Art historians say you have to have seen this at least once in your lifetime: the Ghent Altarpiece. This masterpiece is considered to be one of the most influential paintings ever made and is therefore a must-see during your city break in Ghent.
Almost 600 years after its creation, the Ghent Altarpiece was restored in a spectacular way and was given a new home in St-Bavo’s cathedral. During an augmented reality tour in the crypt of the cathedral, you can go back into time to discover the history of this work and its home base.
In this episode: St-Bavo’s cathedral with the Ghent Altarpiece and its impressive visitors’ centre.
