Museum Martena, Historic mansion museum in Franeker, Netherlands
Museum Martena displays art collections and historical artifacts within a restored 16th-century nobleman residence featuring traditional Dutch architecture and period furnishings.
The Martenastins building, constructed in 1498 by Frisian nobleman Hessel van Martena, served as a residence before its transformation into a museum in 2006.
The museum exhibits artifacts from the former University of Franeker and maintains a collection dedicated to Anna Maria van Schurman, the first female university student in Netherlands.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00, offering audio guides in Dutch, English, and German languages for an additional fee.
Museum Martena houses one of only three xylotheques in the Netherlands, containing 158 volumes of wooden book-shaped boxes with botanical specimens.
