Het eerste Friese schaatsmuseum

This is the world's largest collection of ice skates, all housed in a charming historic building in Hindeloopen. Founded in 1983, the Eerste Friese Schaatsmuseum traces the deep roots of skating culture in Friesland — a region where skating is practically a religion. It's a surprisingly fascinating deep-dive, especially if you've ever wondered how a pair of wooden bone-runners evolved into modern speed skates.
