Museums

In the cultural field there is much to see in Friesland, not for nothing is Leeuwarden in 2018 Cultural Capital of Europe. Admire the Frisian treasures in the dozens of museums that the province of Fryslân has. You can not miss larger museums such as the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden, Belvédère Museum in Heerenveen and the Fries Scheepvaartmuseum in Sneek. The Eise Eisinga planetarium in Franeker and the Jopie Huisman Museum in Workum are world famous. And the Ir. D.F. Woudagemaal in Lemmer belongs to World Heritage (UNESCO).

Tough, stiff and quirky? Discover the Frisian in yourself in the Fries Museum! You go there for a cup of coffee, an original gift or a movie visit - but especially for the museum of course. Here you will discover everything about the eleven cities and the countryside, the love-hate relationship with the water, the search for the typical Frisian and the place of Friesland in the world.
