if you go to ghent you must go to the design museum. it's very good. they had an exhibition on the history of commercial aviation, flying in airplanes to you and me, which was very amusing.

there were quite a few things for kids to do, including looking for Playmobile people hidden in the exhibits. one playmobile chap was sitting in an ornate lampshade thing which was their pride and joy.

you don't get such frivolity and enjoyment in a National Trust property. or at least not deliberately.

the other museum you should go to is the mental one
