Traveler reviews
Julie Sisson
★★★★★11 months agoThis place was so interesting. We visited after the chocolate museum as its in the same building. And was discounted for the two plus we had a hot choc inbetween as well. But we highly recommend a visit. Theres so much to see and the info is so interesting.. light through time from fire to modern day sources. Great if weather isnt so good. It was empty when we went which was such a shame as we found it more interesting than the very good chocolate story. We are older so that may have a bearing on our likes. Great visit.
Nel Kerai
★★★★★a year agoOne of my favourite museums in Bruges - underrated. Several floors displaying different eras of lamps and lighting. Very informative with a vast interesting selection. This is part of the chocolate museum which was really busy, therefore it was good having the whole lamp museum to ourselves.
