Historium Bruges

Really enjoyed the interactive nature of the Historium. The Virtual Reality experience was a fun addition that made you feel like you were actually sailing into the old port. Also, the view from the Historium Tower is one of the best spots to see the whole Market Square. Great value for the full experience.

Finally, I made it to Bruges! This magical little town has been on my bucket list forever, and being there felt like stepping into a fairytale. The cobblestone streets, charming canals, and storybook buildings were even more beautiful in person. I spent hours just walking, exploring quiet corners, sipping hot chocolate, and enjoying the crowd. The same taxi driver who picked up from the train station, was the same one to drop us too hahaha it was a funny story behind it .. but it made a good ending of a raining day there. It’s one of those places that stays with you. I’m so glad I finally made it, and I already know I’ll be coming back!!

A top place to visit when in Bruges, great for families, couples and individuals alike. The facility and concept is just fantastic and is executed with precision. Take a moment, whilst on the tourist trail, to step I side this venue and learn about the historical Bruges and what an economical and political centre it was in the middle ages. Great staff, the VR part is a part you will not want to miss and access to the upper balcony, you will have some of the finest views out onto the Grote Market. I hope this continues to enjoy the success it deserves and help us appreciate how and why Bruges became the aesthetically pleasing city it is.

It was a pleasant experience that started with a virtual reality show (I highly recommend it). It is not a museum per se but rather an educational history spot. It is entertaining with lots of videos to watch as you walk through the various "rooms" telling the story. The bar in the historium has a very nice patio to enjoy a beer or two!

Historium Brugge was such a fun experience and a highlight of our visit to Bruges! It’s right on the Markt (main square), so it’s super easy to find and makes a great stop between other sights. They offer a few different packages, and we chose the one that included both the Story and the VR experience. The VR part was one of the better virtual reality experiences we have tried. The storytelling experience takes you through a fictional tale set in 15th-century Bruges. You walk through beautifully designed rooms that recreate the atmosphere of that era, with clever effects and great attention to detail. The story itself is lighthearted, which we appreciated—when you’re traveling, you don’t necessarily want heavy drama! I won’t give away any spoilers, but the way each room is set up and transitions into the next was impressive. We especially liked the special effects in a couple of the rooms. The staff were all very friendly, and the whole place was clean, well organized, and easy to navigate. The visit took about an hour, which was perfect. There’s also a lovely beer hall with a balcony that overlooks the main square—a perfect spot to relax after your visit. All in all, Historium Brugge is a great experience—family-friendly, beautifully designed, and absolutely worth trying if you’re in the city.

We did the VR and tower version. On the VR part you sat down on a bench and then it told a story of Bruges in its heyday. Wasn't bad. Then you were given a headsets and you went in seven different rooms where a story was told about Jacob and Anna. It was interesting. Then there was the museum part which you could get information through your headset by putting a number in. Amazing thing was normally you finish in the obligatory shop but here you went into a bar. Well it's Belgium .

Where do I start? What even is this place and who is it for? The VR part was solid--would recommend. The next part was these 9 rooms where you follow the most boring story. Like who wrote this and why? It was so bad. The 9 rooms felt like the line for a Disney ride, yet you get to the end and there's no ride. At the end, there's a cool view and beer tasting room. However, the expensive ticket didn't even include a beer sample (at least, if it did, it wasn't posted). Super lame experience. I really just don't get why anyone would want to see this! Do the VR and skip the rest!

Really really poor experience. You watch some stupid movie about a made up story. Bad material, bad animations, stupid story. I thought this was going to be a real museum with facts and data about the city. At best, this is a cash-grab. They invested too much money VR and AR tablets. Meanwhile, there is no true value of any of it. We left 3 'videos' in through their emergency exit. Good Lord. Good job getting my money. You win.
