Many ways of sailing
Inland shipping, coastal shipping, fishing, pleasure boating and shipbuilding sit side by side. Compare two ship models by hull and rigging and ask how the waters, cargo or purpose influenced their shape.
Sneek and its silver
The collection is not limited to ships. Town history and Sneek silver show trade, craftsmanship and possessions on land. With a silver object, look at the hallmark, maker and use before you turn to the decoration.
The IJszaal
The IJszaal (Ice Hall) brings together the collection of the Fryske Winter. Set skates or ice equipment against a maritime object: both respond to Frisian water, but in a different season and with different techniques.
