WhatSnoop through images of iconic Ghent houses and antique interiors from advertisements, leaflets and architectural plans. Take a walk through the houses and castles of the past. With photos in the study landscape, we show how students have felt at home in the Book Tower for decades and how they inhabit the space here, past and present.


With reproductions of nice pieces of furniture, you can decorate your own room in the craft corner or get started with colouring pictures.

Spotting your own house from the Belvedère? Possible on Heritage Day. However, access is limited. If it gets too crowded, you may be asked to wait a while or return at a later time that day.
Who

Open for everyone.
