Just located behind the Ceramics Museum. A history center with exhibitions about the history of Leeuwarden city and Fryslan, temporary exhibition about hospital in Leeuwarden and Erwin in January 2023. No need to make an appointment to see the exhibitions but if you are interested in archives you need to make an appointment. Free entry for all! Nice exhibition about the history of Leeuwarden from the 'mounds era' and a detailed audio tour (the audio tour is also available in English) Bonus: free warm drinks 😉

I never really knew what to expect from the Historical Centre Leeuwarden, but thought I'd just go and have a look for myself. At the moment there's and exhibition of old and new painted cityscapes of Leeuwarden. As someone who likes to discover a little about the history of the place I live it I found it very intriguing to see these familiar streets in different times. There's also a lot of other history of Friesland and Leeuwarden on display or available for research. Oh, and it's free too! 😁

Fascinating, detailed, and best of all, free. The exhibit signage is all in Dutch, but they have extensive information printed in English near each exhibit.

Best Dutch city ever. Super interesting history, unique architecture, canals, all in one city which is much calmer than Amsterdam. There is even an ANWB outlet for shoppoholics.
