You can learn a bit about the history, then walk through the private Jerusalem Chapel, enjoy the garden, purchase some snacks to enjoy in the parlor, and finally view the art museum. The art portion was a bit strange - it didn't really seem to have anything to do with the rest of the estate, and the paintings were very sexually explicit, which I didn't appreciate. But the rest of the short visit was enjoyable. Prices are not too terrible - around €8 for adults or €4 for visitors under 26. Overall an ok visit - not a Bruges must-do, but it's an option if you're in the area and want to explore inside.

I used my Brugge Museum Pass (purchased online and most cost effective when visiting 3 or more…read moremuseums/activities in 72 hours) and had the QR code scanned for admittance. If you have any backpacks or bags then you must store them in the free lockers due to the tight confines on the staircase. The climb was up 366 steps that first started with stone but later turned into narrower wooden steps making a tight staircase with two way traffic. If timed correctly then you may see and hear the carillon in action for a few minutes. That was the highlight of my visit but there are scheduled carillon "concerts" to enjoy when in Brugge. The views were nice as could be on that cloudy morning. Wire screens on all opening impacted some photos but one can capture most of the city. On the way down I took my time and finally stopped to view the exhibits on the bells, drum (programming for ringing the bells), carillon, the tower history, etc. Before exiting the staff will rescan your ticket. There was a small gift shop after the turnstiles.

With so many churches and galleries to visit in Bruges, the Diamantmuseum (Diamond Museum) offers…read moresomething out of the ordinary. The museum focuses on the history of the diamond trade in Bruges and its effects on the local and international economy. The museum is small enough that you can see the entire exhibition in only an hour or so, but you definitely leave with a greater appreciation for the gem stone industry and the work that goes into crafting each individual raw stone into a glittering gem. There are very few actual high quality diamonds on display (obviously you want to sell those), but there is a jewelry store attached to the museum if you want to find a nice gift to take home with you. Overall, a nice step out of the ordinary and a cool place to relax and learn about Bruges' past.
