The curious life of Pieter Dircksz and his record beard

Bibliotheek Bezuidenhout hosts a historical lecture about the remarkable story of Pieter Dircksz, an eccentric man from Edam who lived from 1528 to 1606. Known for his metres-long beard, he used his distinctive appearance to collect money for the local orphanage. This HIP lecture explores his life and his connection to The Hague.
