Stories about the city
The centre describes a presentation about Leeuwarden and changing exhibitions. An exhibition is an accessible starting point if you do not yet have a clearly defined question. It lets you get acquainted with a subject and then decide what you want to know more about.
A city that could have been different
An exhibition about plans for Leeuwarden that were never carried out has been announced for 2026. A subject like this invites you to compare a plan with the city you know. Pay attention to the difference between a design and what was eventually built.
Research in the reading room
Different conditions apply to consulting archival documents than to visiting an exhibition. The centre asks you to request material in advance; on Saturdays the service is limited. So formulate your research question before you set off.
Before you go
Check whether you need the schedule for the exhibition spaces or for the reading room. The Oldehove and Pier Pander have their own locations and opening times.
