A bit disappointing to be honest. I thought it was lacking in content overall. When you consider the role of the Dutch in the development of modern capitalism, their colonial expansion, shipbuilding (the fluyt), the wars with Britain, the development of Amsterdam, the Water Defence Lines - MORE!
You'll visit a museum that's housed in a historic building of the Arsenal dating from 1656, which served as a warehouse for the Royal Netherlands Navy.
You'll explore the museum and its library house, and you'll see one of the most important maritime collections in the world. Dynamic and interactive exhibits will keep you engaged and wanting to explore 500 years of maritime history. Not only that, but you'll get to admire the replica of East Indiaman ship, moored in front of the museum, one of the most popular attractions in the city of Amsterdam.
Your visit to the National Maritime Museum will be instructive and inspiring, regardless of your age and background.
