I was supported by kind staff during a sudden nosebleed, of which the volume could be demonstrated from the elevator scene from the shining. Regardless, the kind staff rescued me by fast tracking me to a neighbouring museum to access the toilet and sink. The museum was also worth visiting, with an excellent exhibition.

The building was beautiful and hard to bel it was a hospital in it's day. More like a church (part of it was a monastery and the hospital was 'staffed' by nuns 100s of years ago. A lot of the displays were of art pieces from the time with a some amount of info relating to the care of patients. Well presented, though and an audio guide was available. Purchased a ticket that included the apothecary.

The Old St. John’s Hospital in Bruges truly caught my attention with its fascinating history and unique architecture. It also houses a historic pharmacy museum, adding to its charm. This ancient hospital complex offers a captivating glimpse into medieval medical care

we visited the museum with my family and we highly recommend it. the atmosphere is authentic - a bit depressing but we liked it. the whole areal is beautiful. visited both the hospital and the pharmacy and it was splendid.

I had extremely high hopes for this museum but it felt a little too slick and contrived to me. The juxtaposition of the old and new immersive elements doesn't work for me.

A very nice, well preserved medieval hospital. The exhibits are organized chronically, and are quite nice. The history of the hospital and the treatment they provided are all present. The Memling exhibit was particularly fun, being able to change and customize famous paintings by yourself.

We expected more a view of how the workings of a medieval hospital were. We got a beatifull collection of art connected to the medieval medicine and care of patients. It took us more than 3 hours to follow the exhibition

Easy access and friendly reception. Very nice information on medieval hospitality. Beautiful works of art (Memlinc!), a must-see in Bruges!
