Incredible work and a well-told story in a nice setting. That a single person can make such a piece of art that is so precise and still works. Seven years of work in the 18th century that is obviously the master piece of the museum. But there is a lot more to see and explained in a very good and learningful exhibition that is spread over three old buildings. A balanced showcase of modern astrology and also centuries' old instruments and household pieces.

In Franeker staat een uniek stadskasteel uit 1500 waar Museum Martena is gevestigd. Franeker heeft een roemrucht verleden als Frieslands enige universiteitsstad, in de academiezaal staan we hier uitgebreid bij stil. Anna Maria van Schurman, de slimste vrouw uit de 17de eeuw, heeft een eigen zaal. We vertellen over de geschiedenis van het kasteel op de bel-etage. De prachtig ingerichte kamers ademen de sfeer van eeuwen geleden. In de tijdelijke tentoonstellingen besteden we regelmatig aandacht aan moderne kunst uit Friesland. Kortom, een verrassend museum: historisch en hedendaags.
