BRUGES -- The Belgian city of Bruges has opened a museum dedicated to the potato chip in the Saaihalle.
According to Flanders Tourism, the "Frietmuseum" is the first of its kind in the world.
The educational museum includes machines from the 18th century which were used to make chips, cooking pots, potato peelers and ovens.
There's also a snack shop in the cellar where visitors can sample genuine Belgian chips. Admission for adults costs EUR 6 and EUR 4 for children.
