Prefer something more contemporary? Join one of the fast-paced speed tours and discover highlights from the contemporary art exhibitions. Among them is the film installation by Tina Farifteh, known from the new VPRO series Tina in Sexbierum. In this new documentary series, the Iranian-Dutch artist moves from Amsterdam to the Frisian village of Sexbierum, where she sets out to forge genuine connections with the local community. Her installation can be found on the third floor, alongside Robert Zandvliet’s highly Instagrammable work.

Don’t expect a quiet night at the museum. Expect an evening packed with art, history, music and beer. Bring your friends, discover something new and experience the Fries Museum at its best.
