In a restored 1363 children’s hospice complex, this delightful museum examines how everyday life was lived from the 1890s to 1970s. Although not all is in English, many exhibits are self-explanatory, including quaint recreated shop interiors, photos of wedding fashions, fun 1960s and ’70s rooms, and the disarmingly moving collage of family home videos.
You can also try out the distinctive Ghent accent and see a traditional Puppet Show (adult €5; 2.30pm Sat September to June), plus visit an atmospheric old-world café serving Trappist beers at old-world prices.
