Review & FAQ:
In 1827 the Frisian Society was founded to preserve the history, antiquities and linguistics of the people of the province. The Frisian architect Abe Bonnema died in 2001, leaving 18 million Euros for the Fries Museum. The museum curates hundreds of thousands of objects, ranging from archaeological finds to Old Masters and modern art. Through objects such as postcards, architectural drawings, books and paintings the museum tells the story of the 11 cities and countryside of Friesland. The new museum building was completed in 2013 and houses several permanent collections. The intrigue of Mata Hari, who was born in Leeuwarden, is among these.
