Jopie Huisman Museum: looking at a painter and storyteller

The Jopie Huisman Museum in Workum revolves around the work and world of Jopie Huisman. Paintings and objects offer different ways into your visit.

Plan your visit ↗

Room for the paintings

Start with the work that catches your attention. Follow how the subject is depicted: what stands out about the composition, the surface or a small detail? You do not need to know the painter’s life story beforehand to look attentively.

Objects around the maker

The visitor information mentions the Gôlle, with objects relating to Jopie Huisman. See how the explanation links these objects to the work or the person. Keep a distinction between what you see in a painting and what you learn from the accompanying text.

A changing visit

Besides the permanent collection, temporary exhibitions are described. Look at the current programme if you have been before or are coming for a specific subject. You can take a break in the museum café.

Before you go

The museum is usually open every day, closing on 25 December, 31 December and 1 January. Groups of ten or more are asked to get in touch in advance.
