Smack in the center of Bruges a historic building, that formerly served as an office, was converted into an interactive museum. Via a walk through the different rooms, the visitor gets to know medieval Bruges. Each room provides a historical backdrop in which images are projected. In this decor the necessary techniques are integrated, as there are heating and cooling, ventilation, electricity, fire detection, lighting and emergency lighting.
Also the office of tourism, a café and a chocolate shop are housed in this building.
