National Maritime Museum in Amsterdam
About
The Netherlands was originally a maritime nation and heavily depended on the development of navigation. The history of seafaring, new discoveries, and changes in shipbuilding simply could not have emerged anywhere else. In the 17th century, the site of the museum was home to the Admiralty Arsenal. Visitors are still amazed by the majestic nature of the building. It is worth noting that the museum's exhibits tell the story of not just the maritime history of the Netherlands, but of Europe as a whole.

Always a favourite place of mine. Today I had a friendly chat with the museum staff. They were very kind and understanding. Recommended to everyone as far as I'm concerned.

Very interesting and underrated museum in Amsterdam. Visiting the 17th century ship is really unique!

Belle expo. Un peu difficile de se repérer dans le musée.
