Group Experiences in Hindeloopen

Carve a slice of Dutch history at the completely unique Friesian Ice Skating Museum, and see the largest collection of ice skates in the world, alongside a huge collection of amazing archival material, artworks, dioramas, and more amazing special exhibitions that illustrate the Netherlands' rich and storied connection to ice skating. You can also follow a Hindeloopen painting workshop by a real Hindeloopen painter, and buy authentic paintings in the museum shop. There's also a pretty impressive collection of hand-painted clogs to keep an eye out for! After your visit, what better way to relax and soak up that timeless Friesian atmosphere than with a cup of coffee, lunch, or a delicious pancake on the sun terrace at one of the many charming canals of Hindeloopen?

Founded by Hidde Nijland, the museum has had its doors open for more than 100 years. Inside, you’ll be able to learn about the city’s rich history through works of art, furniture, and costumes. There’s a regular rotation of exhibits, including a growing collection of work that showcases the beauty of the city’s past – from the late 17th century as an important part of Dutch maritime power, to its revival in the 1880s as it began to benefit from industrialization.
