When visiting Museum Sint-Janshospitaal, donโ€™t forget to pop into its 17th-century pharmacy as well. ๐Ÿ˜‰ The entrance is located between the herb beds at Eleonora Verbekehof. Have a look inside and be awed by the well-preserved interior.

This is where the nurses prepared their herbal mixtures. The herb cabinets, instruments, jugs and pitchers, jars and the authentic counter with the original recipes from that time have been preserved.

Contrary to what you might expect, the brick tower on the Gentpoortvest is not that old at all. It only made its appearance in 1925, as part of the modern water supply system that Bruges introduced at that time. To this day it still provides fresh drinking water to the city centre and Christus-Koning district.

The mound and four remarkable concrete shafts also reveal a military secret. The Belgian government had an underground bunker built here in the 1930s, complete with air shafts. Today it is home to a pistol and carbine shooting association.

Did you know that the ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐๐ž-๐„๐ณ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐š๐ญ owes its name to an old inn?

The Blinde-Ezelstraat (Blind Donkey Street) is a narrow street connecting two well-known places: the Burg square and the Vismarkt. There are several stories about the name, but the most accepted explanation refers to an inn that stood here in the 15th century: Den Blinden Ezel (The Blind Donkey). ๐Ÿป

The inn's name is said to be related to a mill that pumped water from the Reie, the river that flows through the centre of Bruges, to the inn. That mill was powered by a donkey, which was blindfolded to prevent the animal from realising that it was constantly walking in circles. Hence the name: the blind donkey. ๐Ÿซ

Did you know that the fresco 'The Whispering Walls Rรชve' by Laure Prouvost in the Scala of BRUSK was partly created using the centuries-old fresco technique? ๐ŸŽจ

Laure Prouvost found a team that still masters this remarkable technique and was able to bring her design to life. You can admire the result in the entrance hall of BRUSK, even when the exhibition galleries are closed. ๐Ÿ˜‰
