Amsterdam > Scheepvaart Museum

The present home of the Dutch Maritime Museum is what used to be the arsenal of the Netherlands Navy back in the 18th century. The National Naval Depot is the location of one of the most important sights in Amsterdam, due to its rich historical charge.
The Dutch Maritime Museum gathers a remarkable collection of maps, models and displays of real-sized ships including the VOC ship and creates the illusion of reality having actors play the sailors on the ships. Tourists are offered the chance to visit Amsterdam Ordnance Datum and get a better image of how things must have looked like in middle age Amsterdam and how commerce was made back then. The Netherlands Maritime Museum also brings some of the flavor of the colonies and the countries overseas.

The Netherlands maritime Museum is open from Tuesday to Saturday between 10.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. Guests coming from mid-June to mid-September can also visit it on Mondays.
On New Year's Day (January, 1st) and on Queen's Day (April, 30th), Netherlands Maritime Museum is closed.

The fee you must pay for visiting the Netherlands Maritime Museum is 7.00€ for adults and 4.00€ for children aged 6 to 17 years old.
