The Historium is a cultural and historical attraction located on the Grote Markt in Brugge. Opened on November 25, 2012, it showcases the vibrant history of Bruges during the Golden Age, particularly around the time of Jan van Eyck. Visitors can explore seven themed rooms that combine film, decor, and special effects to narrate the story of Bruges. A notable feature since 2015 is the virtual reality experience, which allows guests to see Bruges as it was in 1435. The site includes a café, a Gothic tower with 145 steps to climb, and a panoramic terrace. Accessibility is prioritized, and the attraction aims for 200,000 visitors annually.
