Frietmuseum Bruges

The historic center of Bruges is almost a museum unto itself. Every corner seems to be a straight out of a painting by Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden or Robert Campin. But another treasure of the historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a museum devoted to another standard bearer of Belgium—frites or french fries..
The Frietmuseum explains the history of the potato and fries starting on the ground floor with an exhibition about Peru, where potatoes originated more than 10,000 years ago. Then on the first floor, visitors learn the history of frites, how they came to Belgium and became the most beloved national food. There are also medieval potato cellars where visitors get to finally have a taste as it would be impossible to walk around from this museum without finally getting to enjoy a few fries..
