Museo Marittimo di Rotterdam

The Maritime Museum Rotterdam is a maritime museum showcasing the maritime history of Rotterdam. The museum has a large collection of over 850,000 objects from six centuries of maritime history. The museum's harbour features a collection of historic vessels and cranes, including the 19th-century ironclad ram ship HNLMS Buffel and a working grain elevator. Visitors can explore the ships and learn about maritime crafts and shipbuilding in the workshops. The museum also offers exhibitions, including 'Masterpieces' which showcases unique objects from its collection, and 'Offshore Experience' which simulates the search for oil, gas, wind energy, and renewables at sea.
