Historium Medieval Museum

Brugge

The Historium is not a boring museum, but a fascinating attraction that takes you on a time travel to the Bruges Middle Ages at the time of Jan van Eyck! It offers an immersive journey into the city's medieval past, bringing the 15th century to life through storytelling, film, music, and special effects. Located on the Market Square of Bruges, it features seven themed rooms that recreate Bruges’ Golden Age and the world of Jan van Eyck.

For a unique perspective, the Historium Virtual Reality tour lets visitors fly through medieval Bruges, showcasing landmarks like the reconstructed Waterhalle. Those seeking panoramic views can climb the Historium Tower, which offers a breathtaking 360° view of the city.

The Historium is a must-visit for anyone wanting to step back in time and experience Bruges as it once was.
