A journey through centuries


Visitors are welcomed in a historical location called the Nassau Chapel, it's the only remaining vestige of the Burgundian court in Brussels. There you will witness an immersive projection in which the Burgundian dukes introduce themselves. Then, the path leads to a 20th-century space in the KBR, an open room where the atmosphere is completely different. Black and gold dominate the interior. Welcome to the treasure trove of the dukes! Four 'cocoons' immerse visitors in the stories. From the outside, they appear modest, nothing distracts attention from the shining books inside. Inside, magical interactions await. With each interaction, a different insight is provided into the medieval manuscripts.

Small scenes, amazing details: the manuscripts show their beauty to careful readers. Digital applications allow visitors to virtually leaf through the precious manuscripts and examine the details up close. There are tablets next to each display case, but also large screens where visitors can browse through the ducal library. When museum staff change the contents of the display case, they also update the tablet: this can be done easily via a CMS system.
