Fun for all students and ages!
The Historium is not a boring museum, but an engaging attraction that takes you on a journey through time to medieval Bruges during the era of Jan van Eyck! Through various educational programs, you can make your school trip or class outing both attractive and informative. During an excursion to the Historium, students receive an accessible introduction to the medieval history of Bruges and Jan van Eyck, featuring film, VR, music, and special effects. It is a concept based on ‘edutainment’ surrounding Jan van Eyck’s world that perfectly aligns with the interests of young people.
In 2017, the Historium was a finalist at the Tourism Flanders Awards in the category ‘Best Family-Friendly Tourism Product’: a wonderful recognition of our work to inspire young people with new technology.
