Photographer’s Note
The Gruuthuse Museum is the most diverse of all the Bruges Museums. Situated in the 'House of Gruuthuse', in the late Middle-Ages it belonged to the family Van Brugghe-van der Aa, a.k.a the lords of 'Gruuthuse'. This family owned the monopoly on 'Gruut', a medieval mixture of spices used to make beer. The present antiques and art collections were started in 1865 by the 'Archeological Society' of Bruges. In 1955 the city of Bruges acquired the museum and expanded the collection.
