In the lace museum the accent is on contextualising the origins of lace and on some early developments. Displays include the basic techniques and movements, types of lace and their geographical origins, the lace industry then and now and lace teaching in Bruges. The craftsmanship and aesthetics of lace are honoured and, in addition, the contemporary and international appeal of lace is featured. The museum was developed with multimedia and interactive displays. In addition to visiting the museum, you can watch the Kantcentrum's bobbin lacemaking demonstrations in the afternoon. This is included in the ticket price (if you come before 14h you can return with your already bought ticket). All this allows you to experience the fascination of lace in Bruges and far beyond. Price: see website. The building is accessible for wheelchairs. No dogs allowed (except for guidance dogs). We have a special feelbox for the visually impaired.

We went here expecting to see chocolate demos and tasting. We got that and a whole lot more! Before demo and tasting, there were a number of rooms to explore that detailed the history of chocolate, the makers, and drinkers! The exhibits range from Marie Antoinette's chocolate drinking set to Incan and Mayan chocolate drinking vessels, chocolate boxes and even chocolate sculptures. A very extensive and impressive display. The demo was very informative and showed how quickly chocolate can go from base to finished product. Of course there was tasting to be done and we had to partake!! Well worth the visit.

We only went here because it was included in a joint ticket with the museums of chocolate and frites. When we told the man at the desk in the chocolate experience that we also had a ticket for the lantern museum he smirked and said, 'Lucky you'. However, I found it easily the best of the three. Highly eccentric, no doubt, but really well presented, well looked after and the founder was clearly obsessed with lamps. I wouldn't take my children there and you definitely have to be in the right frame of mind (there are literally display cases with lightbulbs in), but I found the whole experience really charming.

This literary and biographical museum about the life of Guido Gezelle (1830- 1899), one of Flanders’ most famous poets, was established in the house where he was born, situated in a peaceful working-class district of the city. In addition to displays about his life and works, there are also temporary presentations about (literary) art. Next to the house there is a romantic garden, with Jan Fabre’s
