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.

One of the most beautiful museums in the city, whether you are interested in the subject or not, is worth a visit. Outside you can also climb on the reproduction of a real sailing ship.

The museum is worth a visit if you like ships or history. The Amsterdam - a modern replica of an original Dutch East Indiaman is the highlight and tells the story of Dutch imperialism well.
