Fries Verzetsmuseum
This is a museum within a museum, namely within the Fries Museum. In any case, the Fries Verzetmuseum (Frisian Resistance Museum) its own whole museum, with their own collection. Here, you'll find stories told by Frisians in the time of World War II: about their lives, their choices, and their struggle against oppression. You'll learn about their heroic actions, such as the raid on the custodial house. With help from objects and documentaries, the stories will become tangible.
OnderWaterSafari
In the Natuurmuseum Fryslân, you can go on an extraordinary safari. The OnderWaterSafari is a smashing attraction, where you can duck under the water, whilst keeping your feet dry. Take a journey through freshwater channels, and the salt-water ecosystem of the World Heritage Site the Wadden Sea. On the way, you'll see the Big Five of the Dutch under-water world: the beaver, the otter, the catfish; the seal, and the porpoise. Step in and see for yourself!
