A broad collection, your own route
The museum website mentions subjects such as landscape, Mata Hari, Grutte Pier and work by Frisian artists. That is a description of the collection, not a guarantee that everything can be seen at the same time. Look at the exhibition programme and choose a starting point that appeals to you.
From material to meaning
A work of art calls for a different first look from a piece of textile or an archaeological object. Notice what the material shows you and what explanation you need. The variety can help you discover your own interests.
The Verzetsmuseum too
The Fries Verzetsmuseum (resistance museum) is in the same building. That makes a combined visit possible, but the subject deserves its own place in your planning. Look at the exhibitions and the time available beforehand, rather than treating it as a quick extra room.
Before you go
The museum is normally closed on Mondays but has special opening days. Check the current visitor information and any ticket conditions for each exhibition.
