Industriemuseum Gent

The Industriemuseum in Ghent is a museum dedicated to the history of industry, technology and working life in Belgium. Housed in a former cotton mill in the heart of Ghent, the museum explores how industrialisation transformed the city, its people and everyday life from the Industrial Revolution to the present day. The museum's collections include historic machinery, textiles, printing equipment, tools and other objects connected to industrial production. Visitors can explore the development of manufacturing and technology while learning about the people who worked in factories and the social changes brought about by industrialisation. The former factory setting itself is an important part of the experience, connecting the museum's collections directly to Ghent's industrial heritage.
