Folklore Museum

Folklore Museum, Housed in the low whitewashed houses of the former Shoemakers Guild Almshouse, the Folklore Museum aims to recreate life in Bruges in times gone by. Exhibits depict a primary school class, a cooper's and a milliner's workshop, a spice store and a candy store, and everyday household scenes. A new emphasis is on the history of the important regional textile industry. Most refreshing of all is an old inn, De Zwarte Kat the Black Cat, which has real beer on tap. In summer, children and adults can play traditional games in the garden.
