STAM Ghent

STAM is the city museum of Ghent, housed in the restored Bijloke Abbey in the Bijloke quarter. The museum tells the story of Ghent from the Middle Ages to the present day through a combination of historical objects, multimedia installations and a spectacular aerial photograph on the floor of the main hall, on which you can literally walk through the city. The museum's architecture is a fascinating blend of medieval monastery and sleek contemporary design.

STAM is fully accessible for wheelchair users. The museum was designed with universal accessibility in mind: all exhibition spaces can be reached by lift and ramps. The wide passageways and open spaces provide ample room to manoeuvre. Adapted toilets are available on multiple levels. The interactive exhibition elements are positioned so they can be easily operated and viewed from a wheelchair.

The museum is located in the Bijloke quarter, within walking distance of Ghent Sint-Pieters station. Parking in the immediate vicinity is limited, but PMR spaces are available in nearby streets. The museum is well served by public transport via tram or bus. STAM is closed on Mondays. A visit to the museum can be easily combined with a walk through the historic centre of Ghent.
