Making Of

Historical correctness is of primordial importance for Historium.

The initiators of Historium Bruges have extremely high standards and leave nothing to chance. This applies to the quality in general, but especially to the historic correctness of what the visitor will see at the Historium exhibition. Each detail of the Historium is based on historical research, for which a committee of renowned historians was called in.

Piero Di Bicci & Wieland Lauweryn

Michel Van Dousselaere & Peter Van Den Begin

The bloated merchant Piero Di Bicci looks as through he won't move for anyone. The crafty trader Wieland Lauweryn waits. Di Bicci complains about the price. Lauweryn will not compromise. A chattering parrot drowns their bickering. Is it Frederico? No, it is a red bird. And a female at that...

The story of Jacob and Anna

STEP THROUGH THE SCENES OF A THRILLING LOVE STORY.

Bruges 1435. The famous painter Jan Van Eyck completes his painting 'Madonna with Canon Joris Van der Paele'. There are two figures missing from the canvas: the madonna and a green ring-necked parakeet. Jacob the apprentice is sent by his master to the port to pick up the models. Instantly, he falls in love with the ravishing Anna. In the subsequent commotion, the ring-necked parakeet flies away and Anna runs after the bird. To make matters worse, Jacob breaks an heirloom given to him by his mother when he fell. In spite of his clumsiness, will he be able to fulfil his dream and ever become a painter? And in turn will Anna fall for him? The exciting and compelling love story runs as a thread through Historium and takes you on a unique and truthful trip through the glorious, medieval Bruges.
