Set in the restored 17th-century Arsenal that was Royal Dutch Navy’s storehouse, the museum houses one of the world’s largest nautical collections, spanning atlases, art, model ships, and more. It forms the backbone of the Netherlands’ maritime heritage, while giving fascinating insight into the country's elemental connection with the sea.

Kurzweilig und sehr Informativ ! Insbesondere der Dreimaster bot Einblicke in vergangene Zeiten. Sicher auch für Kinder ein interessantes Objekt …

The maritime musem is really an underrated highlight of Amsterdam. Because I live here, I occasionally go there because it is in the middle of the city, which also explains why the Dutch have such a strong connection with water activities.
I recommend it to anyone who wants to better understand our country.

I found the exhibits more diverse than expected. Ranging from the Tall ship to an exhibit on colonialism. The museum is easy to navigate with plenty of space at the exhibits so you don't feel cramped by other visitors. There is an audio system which you get with the price of admission that guides you with your preferred language.
