Museum of Fine Arts, Ghent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Museum of Fine Arts (Dutch: Museum voor Schone Kunsten (MSK)) in Ghent, Belgium, is situated at the East side of the Citadelpark (near the Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst).
The building was designed by city architect Charles van Rysselberghe around 1900.
In 2007 the museum reopened after four years of restoration.
