Best Museum in belgium

L	LOKUM PUSKEVICIUS on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ meaningful if you have info before the visit
B	Bart Compernol on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Underrated museum. There are temporary exhibitions there which change about twice a year. But the permanent collection of Frank Brangwyn is just magnificent. Worth the discovery. Etches, litho's and paintings, even furniture. Something else entirely than the typical art galleries and more about every day people which he came across.
K	Ken Vanden Branden on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just saw a colourful exposition on Frank brangwyn and one on the history of the municipal theater or Bruges. Quite nice. I'd recommend taking the museum pass though I'd you want to go on a museum visiting spree.
A	Anna Cammock-Nicholls on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice art and building, liked the other places even more on the guide as they had more variety.
B	BradJill on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Arentshuis is a 18th-century mansion house situated between Dijver Canal and the picturesque Arentshof (garden). This historic property is now an art museum with a permanent collection of works by British artist Frank Bragwyn. The museum is open from 9.30-5pm daily and entry is €6 per adult. Note that if you plan to also visit the Groeninge Museum, you can buy a combo ticket for €12 per adult. This museum includes two floors, the first is reserved for temporary exhibitions while the upstairs is where you find the Brangwyn oeuvre. The collection includes some interesting and impressive works worth viewing if you are are familiar with this artist or simply a fan of art. You can be view both sections of the museum comfortably in 30 minutes, making it convenient Groeninge Museum nearby. However, if you are visiting Bruges with limited time, I would suggest first prioritising the Groeninge as well as the Memling Museum at Sint-Janshospitaal, both of which house important Flemish Primitive masterpieces. If you have additional time and want to take in more art venues, then consider adding a visit to Arentshuis.
T	Traffic Tse on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a cozy and quite place. Almost no visitors. I guess it is because there are only paintings and music scores here without any relics. My favorite is this painting THE FALL OF THE REBELLIOUS ANGELS. Worth a visit of at least 1-2 hours. Exhibitions at the 1st/ground floor are in Dutch only. But those at the 2nd floor have English translations. BTW, tickets for people under 26 and over are 5€ and 6€. Reasonable prices.
K	Kristof Van den Branden on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We visited the exhibition about the talented artist Line Boogaerts. Unfortunately, this was a great disappointment. The most interesting part of the exhibition is in the entrance hall. There you can watch an interesting video about her, where you can see a bit of her work. Put on the headphones and watch this video for free, because the exhibition itself is not worth the money at all. You can't view any of her work and you can find virtually no information about her work. The entire group felt this was a scam. Afterwards, we asked for our money back, but the museum management refused, "because no museum in the world does this." Not so customer friendly. My advice: don't go to this exhibition or just watch the video in the entrance hall for free. Inform yourself well about any subsequent exhibitions in this space. Because if they all reach the level of this exhibition, you'd better spend your money on something else.
B	Bianca W on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This one's very small, there's some interesting works to see, but if you don't have the BruggeCard that grants free access, I'd say skip this one. I really don't think there's enough to see to warrant paying to enter. However, they have a gorgeous large hall you can take pit stop in, with loads of comfortable chairs and sofas to lounge on.
