Review & FAQ:
The Huis van Alijn depicts the evolution of daily life in the 20th century with examples of both ordinary objects and curiosities. The museum uses found objects, film, photos, and audio to tell the story of the century. The well-curated museum beautifully displays objects in the everyday environments in which they would be used, like a barber shop, a child’s room, or a living room. There is an interesting collection of private videos that Ghent citizens recorded to tell their stories, giving visitors a glimpse into the life and times of Ghent in the 1900s.
