Historium Story
In the Historium Story we take you on a time trip to medieval Bruges. Let yourself be swept up in a wonderful love story while walking through 7 historical themed rooms – magnificent medieval backdrops, with film, music and special effects. Using the audio guide you will hear everything about the Golden Age of Bruges and imagine yourself back in the time of Jan van Eyck. The Historium is located on the Market Square, where the Waterhalle used to be. This was the central warehouse for the shipping industry in the thriving trading city. The location has been reconstructed in the attraction and gives your visit an extra dimension.
Historium Virtual Reality
Anyone who wants to try virtual reality will have wonderful adventures in the Historium. Start your visit with a virtual flight to medieval Bruges: the Historium Virtual Reality takes you on an unforgettable virtual tour of the historical city, where you even get to see and use your hands! You experience this experience from the comfort of a VR-booth inside the Historium. Would you rather go into the city? With the City VR, the Historium also offers a virtual outdoor experience.
Panoramic terrace
You can enjoy a splendid view of the Market Square (Markt) in Bruges from the panoramic terrace on the second floor. The Market Square is still the beating heart of Bruges. The panoramic terrace is freely accessible and it is the ideal place for taking some great photos.

For an even more impressive view of the Bruges Market Square and the Belfry, you can climb the Historium Tower, the neo-gothic tower that reaches a height of 35 metres. Once you arrive at the top, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking 360° view of all of the major buildings in Bruges.
