ArrayNo birthday party without balloons Students SintLucasAcademie Gent
On Sunday October 9th Ghent celebrated the first birthday of its City Museum, STAM. A good reason to throw a party! Many showed up around noon for the day ‘s kick-off: a cooking competition “Who makes the best Ghent beef stew?” Throughout the day, people could enjoy live opera, get a relaxing massage, have their picture taken and printed in a dedicated frame, listen to stories of Ghent and much more. To close the birthday in style, there was a big birthday cake. In total, some 3.300 celebrated with us.
