Historium (website) is a museum in the center of Bruges, on the site of the old ‘Waterhalle’. As part of their attraction they have a Virtual Reality (VR) experience in which the visitor travels with merchandise from Portugal to Bruges in the 15th century.
The attraction has been running since 2015 and remains popular to this day. It was decided to upgrade the entire experience, including the VR content.
I worked on the project as an environment and 3D artist. Below you will find a series of screenshots showing the before and after shots of the upgrades we performed.

My husband and I enjoyed our short visit here. First time visiting Bruges for myself and got to learn a bit about Bruges’ history in a fun and interactive way. We did the VR and story activity. Both were informative and enjoyable. The place was very clean and the staff was friendly. Affordable prices.

Overall a very enjoyable experience. Loved the VR experience, though felt it was too short. The interactive story was cute and kept my attention. Loved learning about medieval Bruges.

All parts of the historium were great. The VR experience was much better than expected. Great immersive view of old brugge. The historium main exhibition was quite nice. Took us through the city’s history via a love story. The tower was nice and offered a lovely view of Markt square and the belfry.
