Historium Bruges is an interactive experience museum on the Market Square of Bruges. The attraction takes visitors on an immersive journey to medieval Bruges in the time of Jan Van Eyck. Through a course with sounds, scents and animated sets, you experience the golden age of the city. A virtual reality experience is also available showing Bruges as it was in 1435, and the panoramic terrace offers a breathtaking view over the Market Square.

Wheelchair accessibility has been thoughtfully implemented. An alternative entrance with a lift is available and wheelchair users receive a customised route through the museum with personal assistance. Wheelchair-accessible toilets are present and a wheelchair can be borrowed free of charge at the ticket office. Companions of visitors with disabilities receive free admission to the museum.

The Historium is located in the heart of Bruges and is easily accessible by public transport. It does not have its own car park, but parking garages with disabled parking spaces are available nearby. The Duvelorium, the free-entry cafe, offers a pleasant resting point after your visit. A visit to the Historium combines perfectly with a walk through the UNESCO World Heritage city centre of Bruges.
