Historium Bruges

Staff informative and friendly. Nice views at the top of the tower. Would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area. Cafe/bar upstairs where you can get some nice drinks. There is a QR code on your receipt in order to use the toilets so don't forget to scan of you need to go 😁🇧🇪

A great stop to appreciate the city’s past and how things have changed for the past 500-600 years since its golden age. Cleverly told through story telling, the experience includes interesting VR and nice view of the market from the second floor balcony.

Incredible experience there. One of the best museums I've ever visited. Perfect combination of the history and the modern technology. The hosts guide you through a personal story of a young boy and a girl and meanwhile you see all the places and the living of the people in Bruges. I recommend it to all visitors.

Best brewery experience! The beer was ice cold, fresh, refreshing, and tasty!

I highly recommend this excursion and historical experience.

The tower tour is very steep and narrow. I’m slender and somewhat fit—I was huffing and puffing all the way up.

I didn’t do the VR experience but it looked really cool.

Historium Bruges is an absolute gem! Immerse yourself in the captivating history of Bruges through cutting-edge exhibits and a mesmerizing virtual reality experience. The attention to detail is phenomenal, transporting you back in time. The friendly staff enhances the overall experience, providing valuable insights. Don't miss the panoramic views from the tower – breathtaking! Conveniently located in the heart of Bruges, it's a must-visit for history enthusiasts. Make sure to grab the informative audio guide for a deeper understanding. Een absolute aanrader voor geschiedenisliefhebbers!

Totally worth it. I didn't expect so many people on a rainy February day. The whole tour was excellent! So many things to learn. I totally recommend it!

Historium is really cool! While it may seem a bit pricey initially, it's totally worth it. You'll dive into the story of young Jacob, explore Bruges in VR, and wrap it up by enjoying the panoramic view of the main square.

This was a cool experience! I would recommend going in the second half of the day as it wasn’t busy at all when I attended at 16h:30. I had the whole experience on my own. The pub is great as well and if you purchase your ticket online it’s just a very small bit cheaper. The VR part is good too. Nice upper outdoor space over the square above the pub is cool.
Enjoy

Definitely worth a visit! Super informative and fun. Wasn’t busy at all. You’re given a head set which you listen too as you’re walking around the museum. We did the virtual reality, museum and tower. Not too expensive. There are many many steps to the top of the tower and it is very narrow at the top but you get amazing views of Bruges! You do however have to pay to use the toilets.

Lots of history put into a story form with video and rooms that take you back in time! Clean and friendly. Well organised. Spectacular views!

Modern interactive walk through bygone Bruges. The audio/visual tour was very good as well as the 3d experience paid for separate. Lots of goodies for sale in the curio shop. Relax with a cold local beer in their pub. We climbed the tower for a panoramic view of the market plain below. A must visit if you have limited time, but enquire before you go as it can get busy. Book online or at the door.

I strongly recommend you to get tickets and visit this museum as it is very informative and enjoyable. You learn lots of things about the city’s history, social and cultural life throughout the centuries. If you are not in the mood of visiting a museum, just get in to the ground floor and have a look around and notice interesting things here as well. By the way, there is the Brugge information desk on the ground floor where you can get free maps, brochures etc about Brugge and the staff is very helpful

An interesting step back into time. The story captures your imagination as you move from one room to the next. Interactive displays consolidate facts for the visitor, young and old. Fantastic views over the square from the Duvel bar where you can enjoy a traditional beer.

Heads up for Americans, since we are more modest on this stuff. The tour has a movie you watch as you go along, and there's some randomly gratuitous full frontal female nudity (not a naked statue, it's a video of a nude woman in a bathhouse walking toward the camera), so if you're going with kids, beware.

That odd warning aside, the museum is very fun. The virtual reality portion is well done and worth the extra price. The tour ends with a bar on a balcony over Bruges burger square.

The museum exhibit area itself is honestly sort of lame, but the fun technology part of the tour combined with the balcony beer garden makes this very worthwhile.

Wonderful and educational experience in one of the oldest historical buildings in the heart of Bruges. The tour tells a story in which the history is explained, while you move along from room to room as the story progresses. I will not go into detail, as to not spoil anything.
There is also an optional VR-experience as an introduction/prelude to the story or main tour.
You have the option to go up the (narrow) tower for a spectacular 360° view.
Word of advise for anyone suffering from claustrophobia, scared of heights (the tower) and motion sickness (the VR-experience, only for a few seconds at which point you can maybe take off the headset for that particular scene if necessary).
The tower and VR are both seperately optional parts of the tour, there is a spatial panoramic terrace as a part of the main tour that holds a magnificent view as well.

It is the attraction that is worth to visit. Virtual reality tour brings you to medieval Brugge, one of the most prosperous European towns at that time. It is followed by a fascinating fictional story on one of Van Eyck’s (Flemish primitive painter) masterpieces. Kids will definitely like it. Eventually, you finish at the Duvel bar.

It was a great experience.

The VR was outstanding, great way to see Bruges in the old days.

The story was well designed, immersive, enjoyable. Audio guide was entertaining and informative.

Rooms were well designed, high effort.

Exhibition in the end was a bit meh

Lots of fun! An immersive video experience of a love story set in 15th century Bruges. You wander through rooms designed from that period and watch the video clips. Gives you a real sense of life in that era in this beautiful town.

The Historium is an immersive trip back in time to the 14th century with a fascinating walk through atmospheric recreations of historical Bruge. The optional extra climbing up the high tower rewards with an amazing view over the central always busy Market square.

My husband and I enjoyed our short visit here. First time visiting Bruges for myself and got to learn a bit about Bruges’ history in a fun and interactive way.
We did the VR and story activity. Both were informative and enjoyable.
The place was very clean and the staff was friendly.
Affordable prices.
