★★★★★a month agoThe absolute best museum in Bruges. The interactive elements are especially good. They even have a small cafe where you can get drinks and a courtyard where you can play games from your childhood. I heavily recommend this for anyone visiting the town

★★★★★2 months agoFamily friendly museum and felt really informative. We all left feeling like we’d learned a lot about the Bruges and Belgian way of life. Alongside the exhibits there were plenty of interactive bits and games for younger kids. I loved the little cat cafe bar at the end and the lady who worked there told us some really interesting things about the way of life in the city.
