Scheepvaart Museum

The National Maritime Museum, also known as Het Scheepvaartmuseum, is a maritime museum that tells the story of the Netherlands as a maritime nation. The museum is housed in a former naval storehouse built in 1656 and features a collection of nautical art and artifacts, including globes, maps, paintings, ship models, and navigational instruments. One of the main attractions is a replica of the Dutch East Indiaman Amsterdam, which is docked alongside the quay. The museum also offers interactive exhibitions that explore the relationship between the port and the city in the past, present, and future. With over 350 years of maritime history, the museum is a great place to visit for families and anyone interested in learning about the Netherlands' rich maritime past
