The Scheepvaartmuseum (Maritime Museum) is
great fun for both young and old visitors. The museum accommodates one of the largest and
finest maritime collections in the world, including paintings by Mesdag and Savery, globes and the famous maps drawn by Blaeu. Moored at the
jetty is a beautiful replica of the VOC
(Dutch East India Company) ship ‘Amsterdam’.
In a recent renovation campaign this eye
catcher’s authentic interior has been restored
with a cabin, a bread, gunpowder and cheese storeroom. You can also see sailors’ bunks.
This winter the Scheeepvaartmuseum is
organising three exhibitions that will show
unusual parts of its collection. Kunst op het
water (Art on the water) will present some of
the finest ship decorations. Klein beginnen
(Starting on a small scale) will focus on models
of ships, while the third exhibition will present a survey of the atmospheric photos Annemie
Wolff took of Amsterdam’s harbour in the 1950s.
