Museum De Tiid: town history in the town hall

Museum De Tiid in Bolsward uses the former town hall as the setting for stories about the town and south-west Friesland. Figures such as Titus Brandsma and Gysbert Japicx give this broad subject a personal way in.

People as a starting point

The permanent display mentions several key figures and interactive screens. Do not just follow a biography; notice how the museum connects it with Bolsward. That way the story remains recognisable as town history, even when a person became known beyond the region.

Taking in the building too

The council chamber and the outdoor staircase are mentioned as part of the museum visit. This means the town hall itself receives attention alongside the exhibitions. The layout of the spaces can help you better understand the administrative function described in the explanations.

Going up, accompanied

According to the museum information, the tower platform can only be visited with a guide. A guided tour must be booked well in advance. If you mainly want to look around on your own, you can concentrate on the display and the spaces that are available, without counting on a tower visit as a matter of course.

Before you go

The Tuesday schedule differs from other weekdays. Also check for date-specific changes and book guided tours in good time.
