The Bruges City Council has decided to stop operating the Gentpoort as a museum location of Musea Brugge as of 1 January 2020.
The operation of fourteen municipal museums is a major investment for the city in terms of infrastructure, operation, maintenance, etc. In order to breathe new life into the Gentpoort by means of a new layout, and to guarantee a quality visit, some important interventions would have been necessary. That is why the choice has now been made not to release any extra resources.
