Søfartsmuseum Amsterdam

Et levende museum

Hollandsk skibsfartshistorie formidlet spændende og fængende. Ingen støvede montre, men fantastiske tableauer og mange steder interaktive oplevelser, der gjorde historien levende og satte gang i fantasien. Vi kedede os ikke et sekund, mens vi gik igennem de mange og varierede del-udstillinger. Et ualmindeligt spændende museum for både børn og voksne.

Fint museum

Det er et godt museum for søfart. Der er god info på engelsk. Udenfor jan man komme ombord på en træskib. Det ser gammelt ud og giver en ide om, hvordan det kunne have været. Det var sjovt at se de gl kort og globus, som nogle steder ramte lidt forkert.

Flot

Fint museum der nok henvender sig mest til børn selvom nogle af udstillingerne er meget interessante. Hele konceptet er meget pædagogisk opbygget og giver en fin tilgang til emnet og der er brugt moderne teknologi meget kreativt.

Bedste og mest varierende museumsformidling

Det er tydeligt at der har været scenografer, instruktører, arkitekter og edutainment eksperter ind over. Også smuk bygning, lækker café og rigtig god souvenir butik. Hele den digitale side fungerede uden problemer. At se Rijksmuseets kedelige formidling bagefter var slående

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.
