City palace from the 15th century. The flow of tourists misses the wow effect.

The Gruuthuse Museum brings the stories from Bruges' history back to life. The city palace of the lords of Gruuthuse has been a museum since the end of the 19th century. The collection originated from the collection of the Société Archéologique and has since grown to around 20,000 objects. Paintings show prominent historical figures and cityscapes, images from disappeared buildings take you back to times long past, tapestries, lace, copper and goldsmith's work are examples of the production of luxury goods in the city of that time.

“Plus est en vous” or “There is more to you”. You have probably heard this slogan before. It was the life motto of Louis of Bruges, the man who gave this city palace its splendor.

In the GruuthuseMuseum you will find majestic tapestries, colorful stained glass windows, elegant wooden sculptures, historical lace, Burgundian manuscripts and Chinese porcelain. Each of the objects tells a unique Bruges story. The eye-catcher is the authentic prayer chapel from the late 15th century, which creates the connection between the palace and the Church of Our Lady, with a view of the church's Gothic choir.
