The Prinsentuin in Leeuwarden houses the museum and temple dedicated to the Frisian sculptor Pier Pander (1864-1919).
The son of a Frisian boatman, Pier Pander grew to become one of the most famous Dutch artists of his time. At the age of 21, he won the prestigious Prix de Rome for sculpture.

A serious illness left him disabled early in his career. Despite his illness, he becomes a successful sculptor. He lived and worked in Rome most of his life, but often returned to the Netherlands during summers. Pander received many commissions for portraits, including those of members of the royal family. The portrait of Queen Wilhelmina on the one guilder coin was made by Pander.

In addition to temporary exhibits, the museum features a retrospective on Pander's life and work.
His life's work, a temple containing a sculpture group of five marble statues, stands further down the park (Noorderplantage 7).
The museum and temple are held by Historical Center Leeuwarden (HCL).
