Miniature People Leeuwarden: A Tiny World Hidden in Plain Sight

Explore the charming city of Leeuwarden in a truly unique way with the Miniature People Leeuwarden walking tour – one of the most surprising and creative things to do in Friesland. Hidden in cracks, on windowsills, and behind lampposts, these tiny scenes are a delightful discovery for both locals and visitors.

The project began in 2016 when Frisian photographer Michel Tilma was inspired by the work of artist Slinkachu. In early 2019, he placed 49 miniature installations across 38+ locations in Leeuwarden’s historic city center. What started as a small passion project has now become a beloved street art walking route, officially featured in A Guide to Leeuwarden.

You can purchase the official map from several local shops and start your urban treasure hunt through the cozy alleys and streets. Capture your finds and share them using #MPL058 on social media!
