The Historium occupies a neo-Gothic building on the northern side of the Markt. Taking visitors back to 1435, it is a multimedia experience, claiming to be more medieval movie than museum. The 'immersive' one-hour audio and video tour aims to take you back to medieval Bruges: a fictional love story gives narrative structure, and you can nose around Van Eyck’s studio, among other pseudo historic experiences.
It's a little light on facts, so for many it will be a diversion from the real sights of the city, perhaps best for entertaining kids on a rainy day.
