Maritime Museum Amsterdam

The Maritime Museum will give you a glimpse into Holland’s long and prosperous relation to the sea. The museum's exhibits are both in and outside the building. At the jetty there are several ships, some of which you can board, such as the replica Dutch East Indiaman ship Amsterdam. The museum also features several other exhibits and an extensive collection of historical artefacts from the Dutch Golden Age.

When you've stepped aboard the VOC ship Amsterdam you can also travel back in time to the Golden Age with the Dare to Discover VR journey. This virtual journey takes you on a flight over the historic harbour of 17th century Amsterdam. You'll experience how the harbour flourished, see how new land emerged from the sea and merchants from different countries brought in and ship out their goods. The VR tour starts every 15 minutes and is suitable for children of 7 years and up.
