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.

The puzzle museum is a new attraction in Joure. The museum is full of logical puzzles, brain teasers and enigmas. There is plenty opportunity to solve some puzzles yourself. You may make an appointment to visit the puzzle museum. It is very suitable for children's parties, family get-togethers, community celebrations, staff parties and schools. Feel free to come and have a look.

Reviewed By NLxpat - Katwijk, The Netherlands
Small private museum in the UNESCO world heritage village - and one of the 11 towns on the almost 200 km long “ 11 cities skating tour” . The museum is loaded with skates of all sorts and times - as well as documentation etc on the various tours and participants. All in Dutch but most one can figure out. The movie shown was on the 1985 tour - again in Dutch but it gives great impression on this unique Dutch/Frisian event. The museum also has a shop with souvenirs painted according local customs. Restaurant elas closed due Corona but still serving coffee, cake as take-away. Free parking less than 10 min away - during walk to museum sights of the historic town.

Het Jopie Huisman Museum is gewijd aan het werk en de filosofie van de Friese autodidacte schilder Jopie Huisman. Van jongsaf aan tekende en schilderde Jopie zijn eigen wereld; de mensen en de natuur rond Workum, het stadje waar hij geboren was en opgroeide. Vanaf 1974 wordt zijn werk gekenmerkt door de heel eigen, fijne penseelvoering waar hij zo beroemd mee is geworden. De handel in lompen en metalen vormde zijn belangrijkste bron van inspiratie. Hij was gefascineerd door de menselijke achtergrond van de afgedankte spullen die zij meebrachten. De combinatie van zijn techniek en het indringende verhaal achter zijn werk spreekt een groot publiek zeer aan. In 1986 werd een aanzienlijk deel van zijn oeuvre ondergebracht in een eigen museum. Sinds de oprichting hebben al meer dan 2 miljoen mensen het museum bezocht. Jaarlijks heeft het museum een tijdelijke extra tentoonstelling in de geest van Jopie.
