Frisian Museum

History

About this hidden gem

Tough, tough and stubborn? Discover the Frisian in you at the Fries Museum!

Why you really want to visit this place

Dance with the mysterious Mata Hari or fight with the 16th-century rebel Grutte Pier against the Dutch. Feel like the king or queen of Friesland for a moment with the sparkling gold and silver from the mounds. Or enjoy the work of (world) famous artists and slow design by leading designers - sturdy and sustainable, with an eye for tradition and craftsmanship. You go there for a cup of coffee, an original gift or a visit to the film - but mainly for the museum, of course.

This is how they (and you) make a difference

  • Inspire visitors by bringing Friesland's art, culture and history to life
