Wonderful immersive experience

Anne_H, May 2024

The VR experience. we also found the staff very helpful (I am disabled). It was interesting to see the story of the young apprentice and then go on a trip through medieval Bruges.

Good fun

Paul_C, Nov 2023

Good fun for all ages. There are quite a few stairs so if that’s a concern be prepared. We enjoyed it and it was out of the rain so plan B worked out well

Tour for youth

Heather_P, Aug 2023

A little hokey, but interesting. Gives you a real sense of life in Brugge in the Middle Ages but doesn’t go in to great detail

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you for your hones review, but sadly to read you haven't completely enjoyed your visit. We try to give you an impression of how life was in medieval Bruges through the different themes of our Historium Story. Who'd like to learn more, can get more information in the Historium Exhibition and we also suggest other places in Bruges where you can find/see more details about the themes. Sorry if that was not quite clear.

Great museum.

Matthew_A, May 2023

Great value. Great history and cool VR experience. This was probably the highlight of museums we visited here in Bruges.

History meets Story Telling

Rebecca_V, Nov 2021

It was a cool thing to do with our kids (teens) and gave a great perspective of the city and it's long and important history. The VR portion was about 5 mins or so, but still worth it. The museum itself walks you through a story while teaching you about the city and it's history. Very unique approach!

Response from Host, Dec 2021

Thank you for your lovely feedback and I'm glad to read you enjoyed your Historium visit. Hope to welcome you again in the future!
