Accessible museum , recommended if you don't really like museums - Very accessible museum with a very nice VR tour. You walk through a kind of course and always come into another room with a story as a common thread. It is about the origin of Bruges Also very nice for children.

Epic Museum Historium - I Will make this short. If you are in Bruges and looking for something epic go and experience this immersive museum. In 3 words: epic-immersive- timeless. If you are in Bruges you must visit this unique symbiosis of art, history , storytelling and technology. You will be a huge fan after the visit

Beautiful and engaging - Very nice and nice. A journey through the history of Bruges that takes about an hour, time passes without realizing it. Recommended absolutely. In the end a good beer 666 with a slightly fruity taste.

Nice, somewhat kitschy entrance to historic Bruges for the whole family - We were lucky because we still came very close to the opening hours and thus had the entry with VR glasses and the further passage through the history entirely for our group. Overall, the whole family found the entrance to historic Bruges in the historic building including VR experience very nice.Visits to museums and other sights have joined in the coming days.

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!

A must do when you visit bruges - Last minute decision to visit, it is a beautiful old building and very modern inside. I did the VR experience first this was very good but the VR was a bit blurry sometimes. It was very enjoyable learning about the history of bruges. After this I went to to the tour of about 7 different rooms. The audio guide tells you a story which was actually a very sweet love story as a backdrop to the famous paining by van eyck. You watch a film in each room it was really good to find later that the film is real not AI! The actors were great! It wasnt busy and when I went and I ended up alone most of the time in the rooms. Many of the rooms were really dark I guess so you can see the films better, but I found it kind of creepy especially being alone and the door locks behind you (there is a button to manually press to open it though). I wouldn't say its a scary attraction but I found 1 room a bit unnerving with a life size wax work figure of anna a character in the film, it was a bit too realistic. I enjoyed going out onto the balcony to get a lovely view of the market square. Definetly recommend visiting the attraction if you are in bruges.

Fun and interesting - A very nice experience. We took the VR experience with us and I recommend this because it gives you a nice image of what Bruges looked like back then. It's like being catapulted back in time and seeing what life and commerce were like. The decor is also nicely made and it is just educational as far as the history of Bruges is concerned. Definitely worth a visit!

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 +

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.
