Our Team

Origin

Our story starts with a collection of lamps that Mr Eddy Van Belle wanted to display to the general public. This led to the creation of the Luminia museum in 2004, as well as the Choco Story Bruges museum in the same building, since the Van Belle family is active in the chocolate sector and Eddy Van Belle also collects objects linked to the history of cocoa and chocolate.

Mission

The museums of the Fascineum group offer a unique opportunity to discover an exceptional private collection featuring previously unseen items gathered around the world over many years. The playful and educational scenography not only gives you visibility, but also allows visitors to learn more about the history of these collections If you have a project of creating a museum, Fascineum can help you in this creation.

Our values

Sharing: making the collections visible and passing on the history of these objects, collected from all over the world, in an entertaining and educational way, accessible for everyone.   Ethics: both in the way we provide information and in our corporate culture, ethics are at the heart of our concerns.
