De school van toen

De school van toen (The School of the Past) in Ghent, Belgium, offers visitors a glimpse into the educational practices of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The museum is housed in a restored school building, which adds to its authenticity. Visitors appreciate the well-preserved classrooms and the collection of old school materials, including books, desks, and teaching aids. The museum provides an interesting perspective on how education has evolved over time.

Many reviewers find the experience nostalgic, especially those who remember older educational systems. The staff is generally described as friendly and knowledgeable, often willing to share additional information about the exhibits. Some visitors mention that guided tours enhance the experience, providing more context and interesting anecdotes.

However, the museum is relatively small, and some visitors feel that the content is somewhat limited. A few reviewers note that the museum might not be engaging enough for younger children who can't relate to the historical context. Additionally, some international visitors mention that more information in languages other than Dutch would be helpful.

While the museum offers an interesting look into educational history, it may not appeal to everyone. It's best suited for those with a specific interest in educational history or local heritage. The museum provides a solid educational experience, but may lack the broad appeal of larger, more diverse museums in Ghent.
