Maritime Museum Amsterdam

Really fascinating!

Stunning museum and full of such amazing artefacts and information. My husband and I are specifically interested in boats and sea history etc which is the main reason we went here but I think it would suit anybody. Some really interesting things to look at in a very beautiful building. Really enjoyed it.

Interesting speciality museum, especially if you like the sea.

A lovely waterside location in a very impressive building. It's displays are well presented and clearly themed. An interesting range of items, both large and small, inside and out, that tell a lot about Dutch maritime history. As a family we are interested in maritime things, so we spent about five hours in it (including a drinks break) and didn't see everything. Entrance was speedy (we didn't prebook) and being offered a free locker to put bags and coats in was helpful. The one thing that's almost completely missing is anything related to the 20th Century, which is surprising given the key role that the Dutch played in salvage and oil transportation, and their brave if doomed sea battles against the Japanese in 1942.

Great experience, great presentation, not to be missed.

Great experience. I chose to start "navigating" in the museum from the East wing, next the West , leaving the ships (in the North) for last. Great concept to move in the museum with the signs of the compass! Many great concepts! From the presentation of the navigation apparatus, to the presentation of life of a ship owning Dutch family (through a "moving portrait"), and the presentation of maps of the journeys of the Doutch mariners. Not to be missed!

Lovely experience for all families and lots to discover. Just a short suggestion offer a larger choice for lunch menu.

I enjoyed esp touring the steam and clipper sail ships as well as the naval history and the sextant and stars room. The ship heads and artwork of wood was amazing

A fast, reliable system.

Liked it, sadly the ship outside closed due to the stormy weathers

Muy interesante

Este museo es muy interesante si te gusta el mundo de la navegación . Situado en un edificio histórico y muy relacionado con la navegación del país, presenta varias plantas bien presentadas. En una ala y en el exterior puedes visitar la réplica de una fragata de época y una góndola real del siglo XVIII. Muy bonito.

Bateau des explorateurs hollandais à visiter.

Dans le bâtiment seuls les sextant, compas, et instruments de mesures étaient intéressants. Par contre la visite du bateau est parfaite. Visite du pont supérieur à la cale avec décors et mobilier. A voir.

Très beau musée

Super joli musée un peu différent des autres. Assez grand et aéré, peu d’œuvres par pièce ce qui est agréable. Audio tour disponible gratuitement (en français) avec vestiaires gratuits. Très bon musée à faire en environ 1h30 !
