Charles the Bold (Bruges, 17-7-2009)

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Other

Last Days!! You can still visit this exhibit tomorrow and tuesday and then it is finished!

The exhibit Charles the Bold or the splendour of Burgundy is quite interesting and beautiful. There are some real gems to be seen like a chessboard with exquisite ivory carvings.

You also get to learn something about the age (15th century) and the important persons of it like Charles the Bold and his family.

Expect the exhibit to be very busy so buy your tickets beforehand (B-dagtrip for instance) if you still plan on going!
