Restoration of the Ghent Altarpiece
Since 2023, 7 panels of the Ghent Altarpiece have been restored in the heart of the MSK. You could already follow the campaign from 2012 to 2019, and now the remaining panels are in the museum for the final restoration phase. During the week, you can meet the restorers of the Royal Institute of Art Heritage.
