Louis of Gruuthuse, the man who gave this city palace its grandeur in the 15th century, was a shrewd businessman, a talented diplomat, a patron, and a lover of culture. Renovated halls, a new museum concept, and special collection items are just waiting to be rediscovered.
Gruuthusemuseum takes you to three crucial periods in the rich history of Bruges. There is the time of Burgundian prosperity, the less well known 17th and 18th centuries, and the historical ‘reinvention’ of Bruges in the 19th century.
"Renovated halls, a new museum concept, and special collection items are just waiting to be rediscovered."
These three periods come to life in over 600 collection items which all tell their own story. From majestic tapestries to unique Gothic stained glass windows, from elegant wooden sculptures to historic lace, paintings, porcelain, and silver. The highlight is the authentic late 15th century oratory which connects the palace and the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk (Church of our Lady) with a view of the Gothic chancel of the church.
