House of stories Museum De Tiid tells about the special history and identity of this ancient region. In the rooms of the monumental town hall complex, the past comes to life in special collection presentations and remarkable key figures such as Titus Brandsma, Gysbert Japicx and Trijntje Hilarides.
Dilemmas In the new permanent presentation, visitors are confronted with dilemmas relating to this shared history. How do contemporary South Africans look at their history? Was Grutte Pier a saviour or a robber? You will also learn all about one of the most beautiful town halls in the Netherlands and your visit will not be complete without a visit to the famous tower attic.

What's not included
Food and drink
- Experience the joy of fierljeppen and cheer on the competitors
- Watch flying Dutchmen soar over canals using long poles
- Cheer for your favorites and watch as they crash land after their jump
Fierljeppen, literally translated to far leaping, is a unique Frisian sport that sees competitors leap across a canal using an 8-13 meter-long pole. Think of it like the high jump with climbing in the middle and a crash landing at the end!
You have to see it to believe it, but after sprinting up a runway, the competitor grabs their pole, shimmies to the top as it makes an arc toward the other side of the canal, and then crashes down into a sand bed on the other side of the water.
The first official match was all the way back in 1771 and the world record is an impressive 72 feet 10 inches! If you want to see something truly Dutch, don't miss your chance to see a fierljep competition
