House of Alijn: Museum of Daily Life in Ghent

Step into a warm tribute to the everyday: the House of Alijn immerses you in the lives of ordinary people throughout the 20th century.
Housed in a former children’s hospital, the museum showcases household items, vintage photos, nostalgic sound clips, and even moving images that spark memories and stir emotions.
It’s a charming spot for all ages—pure nostalgia for some, a fascinating glimpse into the past for others.
The cosy museum café in the courtyard is the perfect place to relax and reflect on life, then and now.
