The two musical panels are commonly known by variants of the titles Singing Angels and Music-making Angels, and are both 161 cm x 69.3 cm. Each features a choir; on the right a group with stringed instruments gather around a pipe organ, played by a seated angel, shown full-length. The presence of the two groups on either side of the Deësis reflects a by then well-established motif in representations of the heavens opening; that of musical accompaniment provided by celestial beings.

The right hand panel's frame is inscribed with the words LAUDATE EUM IN CORDIS ET ORGANO ("Praise him with stringed instruments and organs").

In the right-hand panel, the only angel fully visible is the organist around whom the others gather. Although a larger group is suggested, only another four angel's faces can be seen in the closely cropped huddle. These other angels carry stringed instruments, including a small harp and a type of viol. Their instruments are shown in remarkable detail. The organ at which Saint Cecilia sits is detailed with such precision that in places its metal surfaces show reflections of light. (en.wikipedia.org/Ghent altarpiece)

Measuring 134.3 x 237.5 cm, the center panel has as its centerpiece an altar on which the Lamb of God is positioned, standing in a verdant meadow, while the foreground shows a fountain. Five distinct groups of figures surround altar and fountain. In the mid-ground two further groups figures are seen gathering; the dove of the Holy Spirit is above. The meadow is framed by trees and bushes; with the spires of Jerusalem visible in the background. Dhanens says the panel shows "a magnificent display of unequaled color, a rich panorama of late medieval art and the contemporary world-view." The iconography, suggested by the groupings of the figures, appears to follow the liturgy of All Saints' Day. (en.wikipedia.org/Ghent altarpiece)

The lamb stands on an altar, and is surrounded by 14 angels arranged in a circle, some holding symbols of Christ's Passion, and two swing censers.  The lamb[B] has a wound on its breast from which blood gushes into a golden chalice, yet it shows no outward expression of pain, a reference to Christ's sacrifice. The angels have multicolored wings and hold instruments of Christ's passion, including the cross and the crown of thorns. The antependium on the upper portion of the front of the altar is inscribed with the words taken from John 1:29; ECCE AGNUS DEI QUI TOLLIT PECCATA MUNDI ("Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world"). The lappets bear the phrases IHESUS VIA ("Jesus the Way") and VERITAS VITA ("the Truth, the Life"). (en.wikipedia.org/Ghent altarpiece)

在我们访问期间根特祭坛画内层上半部在圣巴夫大教堂（荷兰语：Sint Baafskathedraal）內的 Joost Vijd 小堂。根特祭坛画内层下半部副本也在圣巴夫大教堂。
根特祭坛画内层下半部正本在根特美術館（荷蘭語：Museum voor Schone Kunsten）。
要再次经过多年彻底修缮后才会重新回到圣巴夫大教堂中。

在我们访问根特期间许多游客去圣巴夫大教堂看根特祭坛画但是很少游客去根特美術館看修缮中根特祭坛画内层下半部正本。2020年2月至4月，根特美術館将举办范艾克画展。

在我们访问第戎期间许多游客追随「貓頭鷹」觀光路線 (kknews.cc/法國第戎，跟著貓頭鷹逛古蹟) 但极少游客去看摩西之井。去了第戎不去看摩西之井就像如入宝山空手回，因为摩西之井是有史以来十大最伟大的雕塑之一。
