The Museum of the Holy Blood tells the story of the relic of the Holy Blood that Count Thierry of Alsace is said to have brought with him from the Holy Land (1150). Showpiece of the museum is the reliquary of the Holy Blood, made by the Bruges goldsmith Jan Crabbe (1617), with thirty kilos of gold and silver and more than a hundred precious stones. In addition, the museum displays a collection of paintings from the time of the Flemish Primitives and early 16th century, with works by Pieter Pourbus and a tapestry from 1637.
