Worth seeing! Turm + VR + Museum - Our tip: Visit this museum right at the beginning of your visit to Bruges. Then you see the city again with different eyes and can assign buildings to the city's history. The price-performance ratio is absolutely fine. We started by climbing the tower and had a great view of the city. Then we continued with the VR tour, which is really worth seeing! And then we went through the museum section with practical audio guides. Highly recommended!

Educational and fun tour - My daughter and I loved the virtual reality tour that introduces Bruges to the Middle Ages. The tour of the museum takes this information and includes it in a fictionalized history. Finally, the last part of the museum informs, through panels and quizzes, about life in Bruges in the Middle Ages. It was our first visit on arrival in Bruges and a very good preamble. I recommend!

You wouldn’t regret it! - A must do! I was sceptical about the experience but I am glad I did it at the end. The walk through time is amazing. You enter different rooms while your virtual guide Jacob tells you a story. The VR experience also is worth it.

Back in time - Wonderful and interesting museum about world city Bruges in former times. Appealingly portrayed. We have adult children, but also definitely recommended for families with younger children Super service too, by the way.

Interactive and fun with children, VR is top notch and stunning views of Bruges from the tower. - The Historium is a fantastic experience. Interactive and therefore super fun with children. The VR experience is highly recommended and completes the story. Moreover, the tower gives you a beautiful view of Bruges – absolutely worth it. A perfect combination of history, fun and beautiful views!

Clear and animated story - Was a special experience, both with VR glasses in the beginning, as well as having your own headphones on with a nice romantic storyline in every room. The smells in each room came into their own. All in all a fat +

Recomendable - Historium itself, worth it, is very striking, a well told story and all very well organized. My 12-year-old daughter liked it very much and we were made fun of it. The VR part is looser and expendable. They had a great detail because the audio failed and while we waited for it to be fixed we were given free tickets to the tower

Very disappointing visit - Unfortunately, this was not for us. It is hosted in the most beautiful building which you get to see none of while inside. Each room is set up like a small film set with a big screen to listen to a fictional story about a couple in Bruges. There was some history about the area but it was pointless. We were done in around 25 minutes as our group was small. Only nice thing was being able to go onto the balcony and see the market square. Tower and VR experience are extra and would have cost in the region of £50pp! We were expected a historical visit around a beautiful old building - it was all brand new inside and had lost all of its beauty.
