A museum of traditional trades full of surprises
The town of Joure has for centuries been renowned as a centre of artisan trades, a history that is clearly reflected in Museum Joure. The museum is located on a historical industrial site and comprises 10 heritage buildings. Here you can learn everything there is to know about the various traditional trades. You can simply stroll through it all at your leisure, or get your hands dirty and experience it first hand. You can visit the very first Douwe Egbert's coffee production shop for example. And you can end your day with a (free) cup of coffee in the museum coffee restaurant.
