Overview of the cultural venues in Bruges (page
1 of 3) Overview in random order.
Beguinale house.
Modest museum established in one of the old beguin houses in the
béguinage of
Bruges (the first house on the left when you enter via the
main gate). This small museum gives you a idea on how the beguins used
to live.

Groeninghe museum.
This museum is probably Bruges' most renowned museum on
international level. If you like fine arts and especially
paintings, then this is something you should not miss. The
museum holds an impressive collection of priceless paintings
from masters of the famous Flemish Primitives such as Jan van
Eyck and Hans Memling. Next to these masterpieces, there
is also work from later period for you to admire.
Chocolate
museum.
One of Bruges' most tasty
museums is located in an impressive, gothic 15th century house,
called "De Croone" (The Crown). Here you can discover many
aspects of one of Belgium's most famous products: chocolate.
The history of chocolate is explained from cacao to pralines,
from the American Indians to present-day production. There
is also a live presentation on how pralines are made (don't miss
that!). Based on your personal preferences, a specific
type of chocolate can be determined. We bet you didn't
know that there were so many tastes of chocolate. 
Diamond museum.
The city of Antwerp is known as the world capital of diamonds
but before Antwerp became famous for them, diamonds were already
traded in Bruges. Therefore, a museum on the most precious
stones in the world deserves its place here.
Torture
museum.
This museum only opened its doors for the public in 2015 and is
officially called "Museum for Instruments of torture, objects of
justice in Bruges". It is located in the "Oude Steen" (the
Old Stone), a building that once served as a prison and shows
the visitor how frightingly inventive medieval man was for
extracting a confession from a suspect or for punishing a
convicted criminal. Unique in its kind in Belgium.
