Fries Museum

The Frisian Museum is, as the name suggests, dedicated to Friesland and its inhabitants. Here you will discover everything about the eleven cities and the countryside, the love-hate relationship of the Frisians with the water and other typical Frisian things. For example, immerse yourself in the life of the mysterious Mata Hari by taking a look at her diary and discover her sad fate as a possible double agent. Or learn more about the rebel Grutte Pier and his fight against the Dutch. His sword is on display in the museum. Frisian history is extensively discussed here. The collection ranges from archaeological finds to modern art. In addition to viewing an exhibition, you can also follow workshops here or watch an artist in residence. During school holidays, all kinds of activities are provided for young museum visitors. Think of collecting potsherds like a real archaeologist or painting a self-portrait in the style of the Golden Age. In short, you don't want to miss the Fries Museum.
