“first and only french fry museum”

This educational museum is housed in the Saaihalle, one of the most beautiful buildings in Bruges, which increases its attraction to tourists even more.  It explains the history of the potato and fries and the different condiments with which they are habitually served. On the ground floor you can learn about the fascinating history of the potato which originated in Peru more than 10,000 years ago. On the first floor, the visitor can discover the history of the fries and how they came to Belgium and in the basement of the building, in the medieval cellars, it is even possible to sample some. The Frietmuseum completes the choice of museums in harmony with all the others which the town of Bruges has to offer and allows the visitor to discover the origins of one of the greatest Belgian culinary specialities, of which we are very proud: potato fries.

The Frietmuseum is the world's very first museum dedicated solely to the delicious culinary delicacy, known as the "French Fry." The museum is housed in a 14th century building, which is literally the most ancient building in Bruges. Seriously. Though many people associate "French Fries" with France, they're actually a delicacy that originated in Belgium.
