Really nice museum about the culture and history of Friesland, however, a number of items in the museum are labeled only in Frisian and Dutch but no English. So you might want to download those language translations into your phone and keep it handy as you browse.
Loved the varied presentations with use of technology to affect visual, physical and sensory impressions. I learned a lot about The Frisian history, geography and culture. The paintings presented on the second floor by Christoffel & Kate Bisschop have inspired me to research The Dutch Golden Age of paintings. Thank goodness nothing about french fries!
in love with Leeuwarden a little too much and so we had another little wander in the morning before leaving. The streets are all so pretty and smooth, I love it here. I ended up buying myself a pair of felt clog slippers with the Friesland pattern on, and I absolutely love them.
this is the place to start to learn something about the mystical province of friesland. really diverse exhibitions with a lot of cool stuff, also audioguide (also in german and english)
We went in using our national museum card. I was impressed by the size of the museum.
There is anniversaries collection and when we were there the was an exposition on the Second World War.
Lots to see some unliked and some I did not but you can’t please everyone.

I enjoyed the museum a lot - there are several floors in the museum, with different 'topics' and artefacts. The top floor seemed a bit inconsistent with the theme of the museum with its historical pieces, but I still really enjoyed it. Learned a lot of new things about Friesland history.
