The gallo-roman museum in Velzeke in Flanders is worth a visit. It has some nice artifacts on display, although the description about the artifacts is sometimes very cumbersome. I made some pictures of for me interesting artifacts.

All pictures by J. De Cooman. You can reuse the pictures freely. Drop me a small note when you publish them.

Bruges is a very beautiful, medieval city in Flanders, Belgium, which is literally a paradise for those who love old symbolism. I’ve just added some pictures taken during my last trip there.
