Fantastic VR experience and a fun and informative historical tour about Bruges. - We went with 2 teenagers. It was expensive but well worth it. We all enjoyed the VR (first timers!) and the history of Bruges is really interesting. You learn about it in a fun way moving through different rooms where you're told a story. It kept our attention. We didn't do the Tower experience as had already climbed the Belfry.

Historical Bruges - Wonderful museum where you go back in time through unique effects and matching decors. This is definitely recommended for all ages.

Enjoyable and informative experience - I did the experience and the VR experience and really enjoyed both. It was very quiet the day we were there, I imagine it might be slightly different if it is crowded, but I really loved it. If you have the time I highly recommend this fun was to learn more of the history of Bruges.

Great mediatic experience of Bruges medieval! - Great place to experience Bruges medieval ages! In a 60min pack you see the virtual reality movie (really cool!) Then a sequence of spaces carefully decorated/scenarios like the old times with impressive videos, spaces, smells. Very well done! At some point they present a fairytale story about the green parrot from van Eyck's painting, which is a quite poetic way to show the cityscape, some times as if you are the bird flying the city. In the end there is a small exibition of the city growth with a sequence of maps. I would not miss this! For those saying it's not an accurate history of the city, i think they miss the point! You cannot go to Disney and expect to enter Sorbonne university. This is art and entertainment! Be relaxed and enjoy!

Fun, informative - top quality museum experience! - We visited the Historium early December with our children 13yo and 10yo. All four of us agreed it was fantastic, a perfect mixture of fun and learning - edutainment… historifun… just great! The negative views here are surprising. Maybe some visitors are expecting a more traditional museum. We did the VR ticket and story and were hoping to be get a taste of historical Bruges with a big dollop of fun for a few hours and that is what we got. The VR experience is great value and works really well. A super start to our visit, really immersive and gives a great sense of what is to follow. The story tour then sees you walk through a series of rooms, passages and set pieces that tell a lovely love story through which the history of the city is relayed. Absolutely superb, so well done with little surprises along the way meaning this is such good value. After the story adventure there is a more traditional museum area to explore at your own leisure. If you want an enjoyable introduction to the history of the city then you need to do the VR ticket and story tour at the Historium.

Must visit in Bruge - Excellent tourist attraction for couples, individual travellers and families alike. The 30 euro ticket is good value as includes the VR experience, self guided tour and climb to the top of the tower. The story on the tour gives a great insight into medieval Bruge and a fantastic historical context. The interactive quizzes after the tour are good fun and give more information about Bruge's history. Parts reminded me of the Jorvik Viking Centre in York. Quirky and interesting, a lovely way to spend a couple of hours especially if it is rainy.

SUPER ! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - The whole visit was fantastic! From reservation to visit. Actually, a MUST for everyone! A SURPLUS for the history lessons! The visit was already on our wish list. Now that the granddaughter of 16 had to make a work for school about a museum, we didn't hesitate for a second. We knew immediately where to go and our expectations were exceeded. Thank you so much for making this possible.

Loved it - Great VR expierience, could be longer than 8 min, but very interesting, minus 1 star, because reviews need to be 100 digits long??? Why is that?? I dont like that

Very qualitative - A beautiful experience that as by 8min of virtual reality with a 360 degree mask: you visit the city in the Middle Ages, the images and sensations are very qualitative, no vertigo. Then the tour with the audio guide takes us through several rooms over a story with an apprentice of the painter van eyk. The smells and small films plunge us into the Bruges of the Middle Ages. To do!
