Motormuseum Friesland

Motormuseum Friesland is a privately run collection showcasing vintage cars and oldtimer motorcycles from the Netherlands and beyond. The museum is presented by owners Gerrit & Greetje Miedema and emphasizes well-preserved, historically interesting machines.

Public access is limited: the museum is typically open on Saturday afternoons and otherwise available by appointment or for guided visits. The rural location in Raerd makes it a good stop on a regional driving or cycling route.

A compact, lovingly curated collection of pre- and mid‑20th century cars and motorcycles displayed in a converted barn and outbuildings.

Look out for:

• Rare Dutch and European oldtimer motorcycles and several restored classic cars.

• Informal, owner-led interpretation and stories about restorations.

• Special displays or seasonal events such as the museum's Christmas show.

• Tight, intimate viewing spaces—good for close-up photos but limited room for crowds.

Best way to experience it:

Plan for a short visit (an hour or so); check the website or call to confirm Saturday opening or arrange an appointment so the owners can give a guided tour.

• Typically open Saturday afternoons; other times by appointment.

• Contact the museum to arrange guided visits or verify event dates.

• Small, rural site with limited parking and tight interior spaces.

• Phone numbers listed on the website for visitor inquiries.
