Silver Awards

Two beautiful riding whips in Tussen Kunst & Kitsch prompted Esther and Emiel Aardewerk to delve into the world of silver awards.
In the Fries Museum, they reveal the types of prizes that could be won in activities such as kaatsbal (a traditional Frisian ball game), skating, and trotting, where in 1811 a golden whip was awarded as first prize.
In this broadcast of Tussen Kunst & Kitsch Extra you will discover all about awards crafted from silver and, on occasion, even from gold.
