context_page_description: The Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent, Belgium, is situated at the East side of the Citadelpark.
  The museum holds a large permanent collection of art from the Middle Ages until the mid 20th century. The collection focuses on Flemish Art but also has several European- especially French- paintings. It also has a large amount of sculptures.
