The impressive building of the Scheepvaartmuseum

The National Maritime Museum is housed in ‘s Lands Zeemagazijn (the Arsenal). This historic building dates from 1656 and was designed by Daniel Stalpaert as a storehouse for the Admiralty of Amsterdam. Over 350 years later, this is still a very impressive building – especially when you notice the 18th-century cargo ship of the Dutch East India Company named “Amsterdam” next to the building. You can enter the ship and truly feel how it used to be on a ship during the VOC-times. Lifting cargo or firing a cannon … Come and try it at the Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam.

The National Maritime Museum: a must-see for the whole family

The Maritime Museum is an outing for the whole family. For example, there is the interactive exhibition “The story of the whale” and there are special programs during the school holidays. Step aboard the imposing VOC ship, visit the atmospheric exhibitions and experience a real adventure. Traveling through time has never been so much fun!
