Partly for kids and partly for adults. Awesome exhibits on navigation instruments, Dutch maritime innovation, art , and other stuff. Also very cool and free locker system for storing your stuff.

Nice museum in a very nice building and cafe that serves very tasty sandwiches .. Worth a visit for museum and the food..

Great maritime fun whatever your age. There is a variety of things to interest you, and you can go on the replica ship outside. Beware if you have a bad back: it's definitely for small people!

Highlight is without a doubt the replica of a VOC ship . Very impressive. All texts are in Dutch and English. Loved it.

During the 17th centrury in the golden age , Amsterdam was one of the most powerful cities because of its harbour and ships. Here you will learn about an important part of the city 's history.

Interesting museum which focuses on Netherlands' Golden Age of the 1600s, when its prosperity was built largely on the seas.
