You could learn a lot of the Bruges history with interactivity. It did not get tiring after a while as it does in other museums where you only have to listen to the audio guide. since most of the old architecture doesn't exist anymore, it was clever to use augumented reality and virtual reality to better understand the history

Full description

Travel back in time to the Middle Ages!

The Historium – Bruges’ most visited attraction – lets you step back in time. Get a glimpse of how lively Bruges was during the Golden Age in various ways.

In the Historium Story you'll follow the love story of Jacob, Jan van Eyck’s apprentice, as you wander through this spectacular attraction with film, backdrops and special effects. In the interactive Historium Exhibition you will find additional information about Mediaeval Bruges or you can get started on the wacky Family Trail.

Time travel back to the year 1435 in the Historium Virtual Reality and sail virtually into the port of Bruges! You will see how the Waterhalle and Belfort tower looked in the past and can fly over the Market Square to the former St. Donatian’s Cathedral. It is a truly exhilarating experience.

A great combination of history, views of Bruges and the central market, entertainment and a beer option at the end. Offers a good guide to the history of Bruges without being over the top. We paid the few extra euros for the full trip to the top of the tower which offered 360 views. Good value.
