The Belgian city of Bruges has just inaugurated 'Historium', a new tourist attraction that covers scenarios, video, music, art and special effects that merge into a magical sensory experience throughout 7 themed rooms that take the visitor back to the year 1435 through Barco projection solutions.

Bruges has become an even more attractive tourist destination after the opening of the exhibition ‘History‘, which is not a typical sample, It's something different: instead of a traditional museum, It is an attraction that evokes the five senses. In the heart of the capital of Flanders, and el Markt, stands an elegant neo-Gothic style building, with a total area of 3.581 square meters. In their 7 themed rooms, special effects, Images and music work together to take the Venice of the North back to how it was in 1435 as if we were experiencing it in first person.

During a tour of 35 minutes, with audio guides in 9 different languages ​​-Spanish among them-, a love story between two characters, Jacob and Anna, offers visitors a way to catapult back in time and experience what life was like in the 15th century, considered the 'Golden Age'’ for witches, since the city prospered economically, political and cultural. And the concept of 'Historium’ is to be an experience center where visitors take a fascinating journey to the distant past, to the glorious world of Bruges, in the year 1435.

Effects created with the latest technology make the experience live with the five senses. Visitors board a time machine that transports them to the streets of Bruges, with the bustle of a seaport and the studio of the painter Jan Van Eyck, the great genius of flamenco painting, creating a unique total experience: you can smell aromas from that time, feel the breeze on your face... fully experience the era while strolling through Van Eyck's studio or taking an aerial look at the medieval city.

Como 'History'’ It's not your everyday show, its coordinators looked for the most innovative technology, and they found it in the projection solutions of Barco. The Belgian firm has developed the projection configuration for several of the exhibition rooms. 4 Barco's reliable, ultra-bright RLM-W6 projectors support systems that allow visitors to experience what it was like to live in the flourishing old Flemish city.
