Truly bizarre place that looks like a hoarder's garage. The creepy, random mannequins will haunt your dreams.
Bruges seems to have a museum for everything but the mind boggles for a lamp museum. Fueled lamps, electric and shades. All kinds are here under one roof. And yes anoraks allowed.
That sums it up: a truckload, or even several truckloads of lamps. And to say that not even all lamps were on display, most of them are in the 'lamp-o-theek' - what's in a name... It focuses rather a lot on the ancient types, while...More

Complete history of lamps, preferred the start of the museum which was a bit more exciting. Did get a bit bored as we went through with only signboards to read. Would be better if a bit more interactive. That being said, it was a good...More
This museum tells a fairly complete history of light. Starting from forest fires, the first shells and shell-shaped clay lamps, the technical innovations in oil lamps and ultimately gas and other lamps are presented. There are plenty of exemplar lamps on display, maybe too many....More
