You don't have to be in Ghent at the moment to enjoy it. We all stay at home as much as possible. However thanks to the cultural institutions, you can enjoy all the beauty. From virtual tours to live streams and digital archives. Ghent's museums and attractions have devised many innovative ways to explore collections. This way you can enjoy the experience from your home environment.

Watch the unique exhibition 'Van Eyck. An Optical Revolution' online through a virtual guided tour or listen to the audio guide. Also take a virtual visit to Ghent Town Hall: see the historic rooms and learn more about all the works of art.
