Located in the historic centre of Bruges, the Frietmuseum focuses on the history of French fries. With your ticket, which includes an audio guide, you will learn about the introduction of potatoes to Europe from America and their growing significance in the 18th century, largely thanks to Antoine-Augustin Parmentier's promotion of them as a food source.

The museum provides anecdotes and facts about the potato's impact on diets worldwide. The 14th-century Saaihalle houses the museum, where you will discover the origins of frying potatoes and various recipes for preparing potatoes at home.
