Volkskundemuseum

A small but very interactive and well thought out museum Super impressed by the quality of the exhibit! Put aside one hour to interact with everything Bonus - the adorable cat who was asleep between a mannequins legs

One of the best in town. A lot to see, to touch or to smell. I have tried clogs for the first time) and also the cat!

Great museum showing how life used to be. So much has changed in the last 70 years, many trades and skills are disappearing. These exhibits bring the past to life.

Self-paced museum where you can explore different historical scenes. Our kids enjoyed the interactive parts which were in some of the rooms and the garden, like weighing coffee and playing the throwing games. Has a bar and a nice courtyard to sit outside.

A gem of a museum where you can see what local life was like in Brugge. Beautiful layout and displays, and we even got to hear some people singing. It’s worth making the time to come here both for what you will learn and also for getting away from the big crowds. Unlike some other places being offered in the main square, this doesn’t feel like a gimmick. There is also a nice cafe to enjoy a drink at the end of your visit.

Lovely museum and a working bar inside. Tells you about life in the good ole days in Bruge, how people lived and worked and studied etc. There is a museum cat, though he was busy on the day we arrived. There is a bar/pub where you can purchase alcoholic and soft drinks, ice cream and crisps. We sat in the garden to enjoy our refreshments. It was a lovely experience and a pleasant way to spend the afternoon.

Very nice museum and ideal with kids. You can download the erfgoedapp and there are some stories for children to enjoy. The museum consist of several small houses each representing a story: a school, a shoemaker, a candy maker, a pharmacy, etc...

Really lovely. Well worth coming out of the busy central area to find. Staff are very friendly and the displays are well presented and informative.

The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful. All the exhibits were well maintained and informative. We especially enjoyed being able to try on clogs and play games. The highlight was the museum cat. Be sure to say hello. Wonderful experience! 10/10.

Most towns have a museum dedicated to life in the past of the area. The Folklore Museum in Bruges is second to none. Very well laid out with good explanations in four languages. Nice, old, buildings with modern extensions which lead to the gardens. Each area is devoted to various industries and life of the area. From the schoolroom, not a lot different to the UK in that era, to tailors, hatters etc etc. Extremely interesting and, as a bonus, a Black Cat bar at the end of the visit.
