I know, I know, I have already seen them live once this year but hey that was a festival and it was still light! And I so much wanted to see their light show in a dark place ;-)

And it was definitely worth every penny! Their light show is not just brilliant, it's sublime!

The music is the light, the light is the music
What you see is what you hear
What you hear is what you feel
The images are the light and the sound
All is one
Tool is in everything
Tool is in me and I am Tool!

Faith and Fortune (exhibit, Bruges, 5-11-2006)

This exhibit is about all kinds of pins from the Middle Ages, mostly from pilgrimages and such. And if it's Medieval I'm there ;-)

During the Middle Ages wearing pins on your clothes was pretty important for it said something about your status, your faith, your identity. Most of them were mass-produced but they are still all very pretty and interesting!
You can also see several nice paintings of people wearing pins, some funny paintings and several beautifully illuminated prayer books.
Really interesting in this exhibit are the 'funny' pins displaying all kinds of erotic scenes. You don't even see many of those nowadays ;-)

The museum itself is very nice too. It used to be a city 'palace' for the family Van Brugghe-van der Aa a.k.a. the lords of 'Gruuthuse'.
Highlight of the house is the private chapel which is built into the church of Our-Lady next to the house which gave the family a very comfortable view of mass.
The ticket for this exhibit is also valid for a visit to this church in which you can see the graves of Mary of Burgundy and Charles the Bold.

So if you are into the Middle Ages you should definitely check this out!

On top of the world!

Now this was a wonderful exciting experience: climbing the St.-Rombouts tower (97 meters) at night!
Date: friday November the 3th and an almost full moon too!
