Speed tours: REDBAD
Discover the highlights of the brand-new exhibition REDBAD: the legendary king. In REDBAD, the Frisia of the 7th and 8th-century comes to life like never before. During special speed tours, you will walk through the highlights of the exhibition with a museum guide. The guide will tailor the tour to the group's preferences.
Every half hour from 11:15 AM to 3:15 PM
Re-enactment/demonstrations
Step back into early medieval Frisia with demonstrations by Monetarii Dorestatii. The group shows how the former inhabitants of our province lived and practiced various crafts around 825 AD. How did they make coins? How did they work with leather and bone? And how did they weave beautiful bands using a card loom? In lively demonstrations, the re-enactors show how these ancient crafts were performed.
Workshop: make your own decorative brooch
Did you know that people in the time of King Redbad used beautiful decorative pins to fasten their clothing? Such a pin is called a fibula. Some fibulae were very simple, while others were richly decorated showpieces filled with brilliant gemstones. Think, for example, of the famous Wijnaldum fibula! Anyone wearing such a beautiful pin showed everyone that they were important and wealthy.
In this creative workshop, you will get to work on your own cloak pin! First, draw inspiration from the fibulae in the exhibition, then create your own unique decorative brooch using gold thread and glass beads. Fun for all ages!
