Mycket sjöhistorik för pengarna
En vacker gammal byggnad som huserade fler utställningar när vi var där. Valjaktens historia, magnifika skeppsmålningar, navigationsutrustning genom tiderna, skeppsdekorationer och mycket mer.
Kronjuvelen är förstås fullstora replikan av tremastaren (skeppet) "Amsterdam" där man kan gå ombord och uppleva fyllda lastutrymmen, trånga kanondäck, besättningens hängkojer, kaptenens hytt, ankarspel, roder och allt annat som fanns på skeppet när det begav sig.
Barnen kanske tycker inomhusdelarna är lite tråkiga, beroende på deras intressen, men skeppet facinerar alla, tror jag.

Intressant museum med fokus på Holländska Ostindiska kompaniet!
Ett mycket intressant museum för den som gillar sjöfart och Nederländernas historia. De har ett fullt uppbyggt skepp som användes av Holländska Ostindiska kompaniet i sina resor mot Indonesien. Det finns även en mycket bra "virtual reality" upplevelse som berättar mer om den tiden. Museet i sig är väldigt bra med fokus på kompaniet samt även valfångster.

Sjöfartsmuseum med tydligt fokus
Ett väldigt specialiserat sjöfartsmuseum som i princip uteslutande diskuterar utvecklingen av sjöfart och navigering. Med hjälp av en elektronisk guidebok går den permanenta utställningen igenom sjöfartens utveckling med objekt så som kartor, skrivelser, konst och galjonsfigurer. För den som är intresserad av sjöfart är detta en riktig pärla, men det finns nog tillräckligt för att underhålla lekmän också.

Trevligt 2 timmars besök
Det här marina museet har många fina samlingar lagom stort och visar många delar av sjöfarten ,vi uppskattade Ostindienfararen även om den är en rekonsturerad sen fins ett rum där man får åka med runt i stan via 4 projektorer det var kul. Det finns bra beskrivningar på Engelska och det är ganska barnvänligt i vissa rum

An inclusive maritime history museum
This is pretty close to Amsterdam Centraal and the Resistance Museum, so it's pretty easy to get to from either of those areas. We stopped in because my partner is very interested in maritime history; this one is special because the building is beautiful; it's the former trading building. It's full of art (which I didn't quite expect), and in true Dutch fashion, it is very honest about its history. They did not hide their colonial past and included achievements from their former colonies--something other colonizers appear to be allergic to. Unlike other colonizers, they also didn't whitewash anything.
There's also a segment about the various environments, which was interesting. You hear the story of shipwrecked sailors who survived against all odds in the arctic. We ended the visit with a tour of a replica VOC ship, and a quick visit of a retired royal boat. The scenery is also beautiful.
If you're on the fence about this museum, you can wait until you're there to decide--unlike the Rembrandt House, Riksmuseum, Anne Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum, this one doesn't sell out quickly. We also managed to snag a deal for it on Groupon, so definitely check there.

Great history and current exhibits
Beautiful building. Exhibits are very interesting for adults. Varied exhibits about the city as a port, its growth, past and current use, and the broader Dutch maritime history. We learned a lot. Special exhibit on whaling was great for kids to understand that history. The audio guides are free with tickets and were helpful to understand more. Cafe had some good food and wasn’t too expensive. They have a kids menu.

Lovely covered courtyard
Must confess we were pretty museum’d out by the time we visited but still enjoyed it. Entry included with our I Amsterdam card so we went.
If you walk there, as you cross the bridge heading towards museum from centraal station direction, look across to the right and you can see the only windmill in Amsterdam city in the distance.
The building is fabulous, make sure you go down to the bathrooms as the vaulted area down there is impressive.
We didn’t look at everything. We took the audio guide on offer but found we read the info boards rather than listening to the guide.
The replica sailing ship is well presented, quite tricky to move around if you’re not too mobile and as you’d expect, mind your head!
Favourite museum displays were those related to navigation in a starlit section and the section on books/maps. Fascinating to see these early “travel guides” with their depictions of local scenes and people’s.
Do sit in the courtyard area which is a lovely space, wait until there’s a burst of sunshine and see the effect of the roof line shadows across the walls because it’s beautiful.

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.
