Review:
Volkskundemuseum, or the Museum of Folk Life, is a collection of eight 17th century almshouses. These single-room dwellings were used for various purposes during the 19th and 20th centuries. Among the eight almshouses, visitors will find a millinery, classroom, confectionery shop, pharmacy, grocery store, a Flemish living room, a bedroom interior, a tailor’s shop, cooper’s workshops, cobblers, and an inn. Each room contains traditional textiles, a wealth of authentic décor, and antique objects. De Zwarte Kat, otherwise known as The Black Cat, is a tavern located next to the museum detailing the history of the legendry Bruges puppet show, Den Uyl.
