If you ever have the pleasure of visiting Gent you must surely visit this small museum! Almost every object shown in this museum I wanted to take home with me straight away ;-)

The museum shows objects concerning life and death in Belgium (especially Gent ofcourse) in the early 20th century. Objects range from furniture to obituaries, from jewellery to school equipment.
It's not a big museum but it gives a nice impression of life in that time and age.
The museum itself is located in some old houses that used to belong to the order of the Carmelites. There's an old church on the premises too in which devotional pictures and objects are shown. And a very impressive scale-model of a church; complete with altars and benches and lights inside!
