Perfect experience - The story we were able to experience here made the museum visit a unique experience. It was the most entertaining and informative museum visit I've ever had. I would recommend it to everyone. We had a small problem with the children, but the employee Eline was so accommodating and super friendly that everything was resolved. We haven't experienced such service very often anywhere in the world. Thank you, it was great.

Discover the old trading city of Bruges - Very nice experience! You get headphones on and are digitally taken on an adventure with Jacob through old Bruges via 7 rooms. When the Tour is finished, you can still interact. Then we had a delicious drink in the bar overlooking the market square.

Travel in time - We really enjoyed our visit to the historium in Bruges. Through the story of 2 Bruges we were able to experience both their story and we also got to hear a part of the history of Bruges' rich past in every room we visited. Highly recommended also with children who can enjoy themselves in the last room solving questions about the past.

Impressive set up and fun for little ones - We visited with two under 5s and they both really enjoyed the tour. The story was easy to follow and the sets and moving figures were impressive. We had a beer in the bar afterwards too - it was a big thumbs up from all of us.

Historium Brugge - It was a really fun and immersive experience.
They have made a 3D movie which takes you through medieval Brugge, following the love story of (fictive) Jacob, the apprentice of the painter Jan van Eyck & Anne.
In my opinion it was a bit less about the actual history of Brugge, apart from the loose audio tracks you can listen to when reaching the glass displays, and more about this fictive love story, which in itself was very enjoyable mainly due to the immersiveness of the tour.
The love story in itself was really fun. The Video they made to accompany the story was full of detail and intrest and takes you through various themed rooms to immerse you further.
The actual historical knowledge of Brugge will be mainly seen near the end of the tour, where you can type in manual codes on the audio machine to hear information on specific displays and eras.
When visiting Brugge and you have the time, this is worth to visit and experience once.

accessible and visual story for a wider and international audience - Already been here as a teacher and in the holidays as a tourist. It is certainly a nice added value for children and young people that makes history very visual. The story is accessible and shows a microstory of Bruges in the 15th century. It must be said that the bigger picture is somewhat lacking and that the added value seeker remains a little hungry. More contextualisation might have been welcome. Those who only spend a few hours in Bruges for the first time have little business here, but those who have already visited the 'real' city will find a welcome change here. Even in less weather, it can be a great alternative.

Lots of money for nothing - Kids stuff. For families quite nice and for people with an attention span of a moth maybe okay. Otherwise, little draft. Superficial love story in Bruges with some props around it. Lots of money for nothing.

Rubbish - Complete the waste of money. Stupid story about a parrot. I wanted to know about the history of this lovely city. I learned very little. 72 Euros and I feel completely ripped off. Please don’t waste your money
